In 1992, when Israeli-Palestinian relations were at an all-time low, a small group of Israelis and Palestinians gathered secretly in Oslo for a series of peace talks that came to be known as the Oslo Accords—and changed the Middle East forever. Articulated through the participants’ diaries and never-before-seen archival footage, this eye-opening documentary offers a broadly resonant portrait of diplomacy, the delicate nature of peace, and individuals who, sitting in fundamental opposition, nonetheless found common ground.

“…the moments that stick in the memory are those between lesser-known figures like chief Israeli negotiator Uri Savir saying to Abu Ala near the end of their promising talks, ‘See you soon, my friend.’ Friendship among former enemies is a spectacle that inspires even as it leaves us saddened by the intractable political realities.” –Stephen Farber, Hollywood Reporter
