Adapted from the Tony Award®-winning play of the same name, the film is based on a true story of negotiations between implacable enemies — the secret back-channels talks, unlikely friendships, and quiet heroics of a small but committed group of Israelis, Palestinians, and one Norwegian couple that led to the 1993 Oslo Peace Accords. TV-MA | 118min

Jeff Russo is an Emmy-winning and Grammy-nominated composer who has created some of the most varied and compelling music for television, film, and video games. Russo earned an Emmy Award, and two additional nominations, for his score on FX’s Emmy Award-winning and Golden Globe-winning series Fargo. His music can be heard on CBS’s Star Trek: Picard; Star Trek: Discovery; and  Clarice; Netflix’s Cursed; Altered Carbon; The Umbrella Academy; Apple TV+’s For All Mankind and Starz’s Power. Past credits include Hulu’s The Act; FX’s Legion; Starz’s Counterpart; Noah Hawley’s feature film Lucy in the Sky; Mark Wahlberg’s action-thriller film, Mile 22; Craig Macneill’s Lizzie; and more. Russo also received a BAFTA nomination for Best Music for Annapurna Interactive’s video game, What Remains of Edith Finch.

Zoë Keating has built an unconventional and diverse music career on her own terms. A cellist since the age of eight, she studied electronic music and composition at Sarah Lawrence College and spent the following decade as an information architect and data analyst while playing the cello in rock bands. Keating eventually combined her love of music and technology, using a computer to live-layer her cello and performing intricately layered compositions at late-night after-parties in San Francisco. Rejected by every label and manager she approached, Keating made the decision to release her music herself in 2004. Since then, her music has spent many weeks on the Billboard classical charts, been the bumper music for NPR’s Morning Edition, the theme music to OnBeing, the thinking-music of the Sherlock Holmes character on CBS Elementary and heard in countless films, commercials, TV shows, and documentaries. She composes for TV, theater, film, and dance and performs around the world to enthusiastic audiences.
