    • "A journey into the conflict zones that are currently shaking our world"

      The Negotiators is a documentary that takes a reflective look at the identity and evolution of the people who seek solutions to armed conflicts in the 21st century.
      Using some of the world's most entrenched conflicts as a backdrop, we revisit their stories and discover, through the eyes of the negotiators, their work, their assessment of the situation and also the personal cost to them of trying to resolve conflicts in the most difficult circumstances.
      Four stories of negotiation with their protagonists in Colombia, Norway, Bosnia and Herzegovina and South Sudan.
      Negotiation is an inherent part of our lives. We all have to negotiate for everything, all the time. It is something we carry in our DNA as human beings.
