    • Synopsis
    • From deep inside Mexico, Jordi Raich, a neutral intermediary, tells us of more than thirty years as an international aid worker and senior official of the International Committee of the Red Cross.

      In South Sudan, Dorsa shows us what her work entails negotiating on the ground with dubious and at times duplicitous local bosses in a country with few functioning institutions or infrastructure.

      Valentin Inzko is an Austrian diplomat and the High Commissioner for Bosnia and Herzegovina since 2009. He has helped to implement the Dayton peace agreements throughout the area since 2009. Inzko has been an ambassador, is fluent in seven languages and a professional negotiator who knows the complex political and cultural balances in the Balkans.

      Dag Nylander from Norway, explains how his country seeks solutions to conflicts and how it has been involved in many different situations all over the world. Peace resolution has been Norway’s foremost foreign policy – it now has a place at the UN’s top table.

      Jordi Raich has spent over 30 years working and surviving in this world. Mexico was to be his last mission before he retired. But life, always full of lights and shadows, offered him one last challenge. Jordi was diagnosed with metastasized lung cancer. His body now fights against an illness of which Jordi does not know the outcome. Now Raich the negotiator is negotiating within himself.

      Negotiation is an inherent part of our lives. We all have to negotiate for everything all the time. It's something we carry in our DNA. Maybe we know that, but it doesn't make choosing the outcomes any easier.
