Empire — Storyline

Empire is a unique programme that reports on and debates global powers on behalf of an international citizen. It does so in a way whereby it questions those geopolitical, geoeconomic, corporate, and other forms of power that influence citizens across borders. Many of those are not held accountable by any one government or any one nation, and so looking at the world as the global village it has become – with its integrated societies – we try to answer the questions on the minds of many of our viewers: why and how does global power act, react? And how does it throw its weight around?
