Reviews

“[THE HUMAN FACTOR is] a deeply wise examination of statesmanship and leadership, or their egregious absence; a celebration of compromise as the indispensable element of diplomacy; and a stirring argument for the power of humanity.”

Joe Morgenstern
Wall Street Journal

“As significant as it is drop dead fascinating, offering not only intimate personal stories, but also potent insights into what went wrong so many times in that most incendiary part of the world.”

Kenneth Turan
Los Angeles Times

“A riveting look at a missed opportunity. … The new documentary from Dror Moreh (‘The Gatekeepers’) chronicles the promising lead-up to the failed Israeli-Palestinian negotiations at Camp David in 2000.”

Todd McCarthy
