`Shattered Dreams'

PBS documentary explores ups and downs
of Israeli-Palestinian peace process.

SUZANNE CHESSLER
Special to the Jewish News

'hen Dan Setton's crew set
out to do a documentary
about the failed Israeli-
Palestinian peace process,
only one principal figure declined to be
interviewed — Bill Clinton.
The filmmakers, who use extensive
news film of the former president's ini-
tiatives in trying to end the violence,
tapped many others in their goal to
express different points of view,
including former Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,
Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser
Arafat and Clinton's Secretary of State
Madeleine Albright.
The interviews, joined with live
footage of events and stills of previous-
ly unseen meetings, are part of

Shattered Dreams of Peace: The Road
From Oslo, a two-hour history of the
turbulence in the Middle East since
the signing of the Oslo Accords in
1993. The program, part of the PBS
Frontline series, airs 10 p.m. Saturday,
June 29, on WTVS-Channel 56.
"We wanted to present an entire
picture that doesn't skip details as
memory might do, and we came out
showing a pattern," says Setton, pro-
ducer and director of the documentary
made for WGBH in Boston.
"If both sides had stuck to the agree-
ments negotiated over the years and if

the extremists had not been so strong,
there would be peace."

Putting Things In Perspective

The documentary, which advances in a
sequential time frame, shows how often
the actions of extremists stopped negoti-
ations that seemed so close to solutions.
A narrator takes viewers through the
historical high and low points, shown in
film from the times, and introduces key
people involved at each juncture as they
offer personal recollections and analysis.
"Nine years ago, there were hugs
and handshakes on the White House
lawn and people had every expectation
that years of conflict were coming to a
conclusion," says Zvi Dor-Ner, execu-
tive producer. "Our program asks how
we got from there to here."
The documentary puts the events in
perspective by explaining the conces-
sions made during secret meetings in
Norway, where land was designated to
be exchanged for peace. The Israelis
agreed to recognize Palestinian autono-
my in the West Bank and Gaza Strip,
while the Palestinians renounced terror-
ism and recognized Israel's right to exist.
The film goes on to show the impact
of Yitzhak Rabin's assassination by a
Jewish extremist in 1995; the suicide
bombings that affected the defeat of
Prime Minister Shimon Peres to
Netanyahu in 1996; the Wye Accords
that had President Clinton striving to get
