As tensions rise around the world, International Emmy Award-nominated Interrupt This Program looks to the artists in cities that have experienced major traumas: natural disasters, long-term violence, political unrest or economic meltdown. In these cities under pressure, artists are fighting back. Each episode, three young determined local artists and one Canadian with deep roots in the community are committed to making art that elicits change, displays courage or protests against their city's political and societal status quo.
