Read live running Impeachment commentary on Culture Project's blog, with writer Wythe Marschall.

A Question of Impeachment was filmed by activist filmmakers Emily Kunstler and Sarah Kunstler of Off Center Media, in association with Rick Jungers and Manhattan Neighborhood Network (MNN).

While the idea of impeachment has been tarnished in recent years by a reputation of reprisal-seeking, historically it has been - and was intended to be - a vital tool to ensure the ultimate defense of civil liberties and the upholding of the Constitution of this country.

At a time when there appears to be no leadership in government to hold officials responsible for their actions, this diverse group of leaders is proceeding by way of a trial by theater - the most compelling means at our disposal to offer the concerned citizens of this country a public platform to hold their government to account.
