Backdoor Channels: The Price of Peace
RELEASED FALL 2011
Backdoor Channels: The Price of Peace, a documentary focusing on how a rare confluence of events and personalities, many occurring behind the scenes and still largely unknown to the general public today, were the true drivers of the historic 1979 Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty. Backdoor Channels tells a tale of how larger-than-life personalities, politics, and private diplomacy resulted in the Middle East’s most important peace treaty. It is the story of secret missions, power struggles, and diplomatic brinkmanship by an international cast of world figures, who for one brief moment in history, came together for the common goal of peace.
