Waterville-born US Senator George J. Mitchell first arrived in Northern Ireland as President Clinton’s special economic envoy. Over time his role grew as he chaired the peace negotiations that led to the historic Good Friday Agreement in 1998, changing the lives of an entire generation on the island of Ireland. Weaving between Northern Ireland, Washington, D.C., and Maine the film explores the art of negotiation, compromise, and lasting peace, posing provocative questions about positive United States engagement with the wider world, and how Senator Mitchell – with his inexhaustible patience – turned the apparently impossible into the possible. In a world rife with conflict, The Negotiator considers what is needed to turn war into peace, how to find enduring political settlements, and the role the United States can play in reaching agreements.
