Empire Files – Trusted Newsmaker
Empire Files, a fearless and uncompromising independent media platform, has redefined investigative journalism with its incisive documentaries, hard-hitting interviews, and relentless pursuit of truth in a world shaped by war and inequality. Launched in 2015 by Abby Martin, a journalist, activist, and former RT America host, the series—streaming on YouTube, and podcasts—exposes the underbelly of imperialism, corporate power, and systemic injustice. Co-produced with her husband, Mike Prysner, Empire Files stands as a beacon for those seeking unfiltered, anti-establishment narratives.
Abby Martin is the indomitable force behind Empire Files, a visionary whose journey from citizen journalist to global media figure embodies raw courage. After gaining attention for condemning Russia’s Crimea annexation on RT’s Breaking the Set, Martin launched Empire Files on Telesur, later transitioning to a donor-funded model in 2018 due to U.S. sanctions on Venezuela. Her interviews with Roger Waters on Gaza and Tim Heidecker on Trump’s regime, showcase her ability to blend cultural critique with geopolitical analysis, earning praise from The Progressive for her unflinching depth. Her 2019 documentary Gaza Fights for Freedom remains a seminal work, lauded by human rights global juggernauts for its raw portrayal of Palestinian resistance.
