Culture Project has announced new participants for their ambitious and unique new series, "A Question of Impeachment," which explores and debates the case for the impeachment of President George Bush and Vice President Richard Cheney. Joining the esteemed list of thinkers, scholars and activists are: actors / activists Alec Baldwin, Tracie Thoms (Rent), and Callie Thorne ("Rescue Me"), along with former Harper's editor Lewis Lapham and Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman.
"A Question of Impeachment," gathers today's most brilliant and visionary minds to investigate crucial issues affecting all Americans, particularly as they prepare to elect a new leader, including expansion of executive powers, war, surveillance, torture and extraordinary rendition and government response to disaster.
The 5 week series launched on November 18, 2007 (in concordance with Howard Zinn's Rebel Voices, also at Culture Project) with a special opening celebration featuring, among others, singer Phoebe Snow and actress Annabella Sciorra. The series continues Sundays and Mondays through December 16. Sundays focus on addressing the issues through film, theater and other art forms. This Sunday (December 2), Culture Project will screen a special cut of Jonathan Demme's documentary Right to Return: New Movies from the Lower 9th Ward. Mondays tackle five articles of impeachment directly, through depositions modeled on actual impeachment hearings; next up: Article III: Criminal Negligence in the Gulf Coast.
