Culture Project presents "Blueprint" which airs on LinkTV this weekend!

"Working the Dark Side" with
Rachel Maddow and Lt. General Ricardo Sanchez
Premieres June 26 on Link TV

If you missed "Working the Dark Side" on May 31st at The Times Center, tune in to Link TV this weekend to watch the Culture Project event that made news headlines.

In a gripping hybrid of live theater and journalism, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow was joined by Pulitzer-Prize winning author Ron Suskind, Vince Warren of the Center for Constitutional Rights, and Lt. General Ricardo Sanchez, who commanded U.S. troops in Iraq from 2003 to 2004. The evening, directed by Fisher Stevens, featured performances by Liev Schreiber, John Leguizamo, Noah Emmerich and Julianna Margulies.

Watch Link TV or go online to www.linktv.org/blueprint to witness the unprecedented discourse that took place, where Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez called for a Truth Commission - the first major figure from the Iraq War to do so.

In honor of "Torture Awareness and Survivor's Week," (June 22-28) the program will air on the following dates:
Friday, June 26 (5pm PT/8 pm ET) -
International Day in Support of Victims of Torture

Saturday, June 27 (1pm PT/4pm ET)
