World history is in the making when EU chief negotiator Robert Cooper has to settle an agreement on stable co-existence between Kosovo and Serbia. Stakes are high but in spite of the seriousness of the negotiations, they turn out to be surprisingly funny and carried out with style and charm by these three fantastic characters. It's the last territorial conflict of Europe and it's crucial for the EU to prove its ability to make peace in its own backyard. This is diplomacy behind the scenes.

This is the colorful story of Mustafa Kemal, later known as Ataturk, the controversial and charismatic leader of Turkey after the first World War. The documentary traces the rise of modern Turkey, which acts as a bridge between Europe and the Middle East. Ataturk was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize even though his rise to power came from his role in the First World War. He established peace on the borders of Turkey in marked contrast to the expansionist old Ottoman Empire. His first and greatest reform was to secularize the country in order to bring it into the modern world. Under his leadership, women were emancipated, certain minorities were guaranteed equal rights, and the Latin alphabet replaced of Arabic script. Along with rare archival footage there are commentaries from experts such as Prof. Vamik Volkan and Prof. Geoffrey Lewis, and interviews with his adopted daughter, Ulku, with Suleyman Demirel, President of the Turkish Republic, and with the Patriach of the Orthodox church. Turkey holds a key role in the mid Eastern affairs, and this film will enlighten students about its history. High School College Adult

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel. Gabriela Shalev, UN Ambassador, Israel. Alireza Moaiyeri, UN Ambassador, Iran. Ingrid Jaradat Gassner, Director of BADIL Resource Center, a Palestinian NGO. Attorney Alan Dershowitz, the Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. Put them all together and what do you have? Given the topic, Israel and Palestine, and cast of characters, quite an interesting and evenly-balanced documentary, which, of course, is the point behind this production: to hear both sides and hope in doing so both sides can move forward, to end the bickering, to end the hatred, to end the violence, to help those who are desperately in need of help. We view events of the failed 2001 and 2009 UN World Conferences against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance in Durban, South Africa; witness incendiary statements by the controversial Ahmadinejad; hear the protests and see the walkouts, which drives home the point of how difficult it is to bring people together about this topic that has divided people for decades. However, the question lingers, in airing the differences, can people find common ground in order to address the much larger and more important problems that need to be addressed and solved? That is the hope
