"Riveting, fantastic, brilliant! I feel if I had missed this I would have missed the most important presentation and discussion of the danger a lack of accountability poses to our democracy."
- Audience viewer at the “Blueprint” launch event

 
“It is a multi-media tutorial on recent American history with some of the best thinkers of our time. Recommended without reservation.”
- Audience viewer at the “Blueprint” launch event

 
Igniting an unprecedented sense of hope and possibility, the election of Barack Obama served to position American resolve and commitment as never before. Spurred by the one-year anniversary of the President's pronouncement to close Guantanamo, and the fates of nearly 200 detainees still hanging in the balance, Culture Project presents its groundbreaking "Blueprint for Accountability" series at NYU Skirball Center to engage the public in constructing a "blueprint" for a more just and democratic future.

Assembling some of the most important and influential voices of our time to help us understand the unprecedented events, policies and circumventions of the past administration, Culture Project’s "Blueprint for Accountability" event fuses theater, film, debate, and discussion to call attention to these crimes, urging policy makers, elected officials, and world citizens to craft a decisive moral response, capable of restoring both America's dignity and standing throughout the international community.
