The movie Oslo is based on the play of the same name and tells the true story of the secret negotiations that took place between Israeli and Palestinian representatives in Norway in the early 1990s. The negotiations were facilitated by a small group of diplomats and peace activists, including Terje Rød-Larsen, a Norwegian sociologist, and his wife Mona Juul, who were instrumental in bringing the two sides together.
The movie takes place over several months in 1993 and follows the progress of the negotiations as they move from secret meetings in Norway to public talks in Washington, D.C. The Israeli delegation is led by Yair Hirschfeld, a left-wing academic, and the Palestinian delegation by Ahmed Qurie, a senior official in the Palestine Liberation Organization.
As the talks progress, the two sides must confront the deep-seated mistrust and hostility that has existed between them for decades. They also face opposition from hardliners on both sides who are determined to scuttle any attempt at peace.
Despite the many obstacles, the negotiators persevere, finding common ground on issues such as the status of Jerusalem and the Palestinian right of return. Finally, after months of intense negotiations, they are able to sign the Oslo Accords, a historic agreement that sets the stage for a lasting peace between Israel and Palestine.
At its heart, Oslo is a story about the power of human connection and the ability of people with seemingly irreconcilable differences to find common ground. It is a timely reminder of what is possible when we are willing to listen to each other and work towards a shared goal.
