Great documentary for all backgrounds

A fantastic blueprint for creating peace
“I knew Leon Charney was a great real estate tycoon, but I had no idea that he played such an important role at Camp David. Hopefully our current president will realize that peace in the Middle East is as important as President Carter thought.
