Can this peace continue into the future through the lessons we’ve learned throughout history? Johan Norberg, Free To Choose Media Executive Editor, poses that penultimate question: What is the price society is willing to pay for peace?

The documentary is one-hour long as focuses on historical events that served as turning-points, focusing largely on the lessons we took away from these events. According to a recent press release, these events include: an examination of the present day situation in Korea not only through the lens of North Korea’s current nuclear capabilities and cross-border saber-rattling, but also with a cautionary tale of 1976 Korea Tree Incident from Brian Bishop, Major General, U.S. Air Force (RET) and former Deputy Chief of Staff, U.S. Command and U.S. Forces Korea and others who were there; delving into the human side of the equation, including a vivid interview with the son of Lieutenant Colonel Stanislav Petrov, the Russian commander widely credited with averting World War III in 1983; interviews with Falkland citizens and Sir Max Hastings, author and journalist about Argentina’s ill-conceived invasion of the Falkland Islands; linking together such diverse topics as pre-World War II Europe, where British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain proudly declares to a cheering crowd in 1938 that the Munich Agreement meant ‘peace for our time,’ to the Masai tribe of East Africa and their use of deterrence to protect cattle, and thus their society.” The documentary also includes a historical analyst, Victor Davis Hanson, who details conditions necessary to maintain peace.
