Synopsis

American diplomacy is in crisis, with the military-industrial complex taking over the work of peacemakers. Ronan Farrow, a former diplomat and acclaimed journalist, explores this shift from Washington D.C. to global hotspots like Afghanistan and North Korea. Through firsthand accounts and interviews with key figures, Farrow reveals how political decisions have led to the decline of diplomacy, and suggests it might be the only path to peace.
