THE HUMAN FACTOR Documentary Films

Behind the scenes, American diplomatic envoys and experts have borne witness to — and shaped — some of the most intense and tenuous negotiations of the Middle East peace process. THE HUMAN FACTOR presents a unique perspective on decades of high stakes peace talks by focusing on the recollections of these key, but mostly hidden, government officials.
Some surprising stories surface: closed door talks with a holstered gun present; practice sessions of signing ceremony handshakes; and a room full of world leaders glued to a GOLDEN GIRLS episode.

Fair-minded and highly dramatic, Dror Moreh’s (THE GATEKEEPERS) documentary offers keen insights into the motivations and strategies of Arafat, Rabin, Barak and Clinton. The testimonials come across as raw, humane, and leave a devastating impression about what could have been… and still isn’t. –Eric Moore
