Wars dominate the headlines—their triggers, progression, participants, devastating consequences, damage, destruction, and suffering. Too rarely is the question asked: How does a war end? And what does it take to make peace possible? The ARTE documentary "Ending wars – and making peace" asks precisely these questions and finds answers—not just from anyone, but from key individuals directly involved in significant peace processes: statesmen, Nobel Peace laureates, top diplomats, and chief negotiators provide rare insights into how it became possible to bring conflicting parties to the negotiating table and establish peace. Prominent international figures share how they contributed at decisive turning points in history.
When asked the essential question—how wars end and peace becomes possible—the interviewees provide varied answers. A core message from their collective experiences and insights is that peace starts with political will, requires dialogue, acknowledgment of guilt, and readiness for reconciliation. As the film illustrates, peace is never a fixed state but always a process—difficult, imperfect, fragile, yet possible.
