Interrupt This Program uncovers the underground arts scenes in
cities that have experienced major traumas: natural disasters, long-term
war, political unrest or economic meltdown. This series documents the
creative underbellies of five unique cities, each facing its own set of
challenges: Beirut, Kiev, Athens, Port-au-Prince and Medellin. In each
episode, we meet three or four young, determined local artists (plus one
Canadian ex-pat to offer an outsider's perspective) who are committed
to making art that elicits change, displays courage or protests their
city's political and societal status quo.
