The Centre for Digital Humanities and Multilateralism (CDHM) is pleased to invite you to this event on "The Deal". This Swiss diplomatic thriller series takes place during fictionalized nuclear negotiations in Geneva between Iran and the P5+EU. Jean-Stéphane Bron will give a Masterclass on his experience creating this series. This will be followed by a screening of the first episode, and then a panel discussion with Sara Hellmüller, Grégoire Mallard and Serge Michel. We hope to see you there!
About "The Deal":
In a fictionalized recent past, Geneva hosts a ‘last-chance round’ of talks to regulate Iran's nuclear programme, which was suspected of seeking to develop atomic weapons. Alexandra Weiss, head of the Swiss diplomatic mission and former post in Tehran, is thrust into the role of leading these crucial talks. She must maintain a fragile balance between the United States and Iran, while dealing with hidden manoeuvres and spies determined to derail the agreement. The series pays tribute to multilateral diplomacy and behind-the-scenes diplomats, against a backdrop of a return to the law of might.
