Back Door Channels: The Price of Peace, directed by Harry Hunkele, and produced by Arick Wierson, Donald Tanselle, and Matthew Tollin, is an American documentary film about the interplay between the official government channels and the men who acted largely behind the scenes during the course of peace process between Israel and Egypt. It was pre-released in June 2009, and later official bowed in October, 2010. Its mainstream theatrical release in the United States is scheduled for Sept., 2011. The film traces the confluence of factors that made the 1979 Peace Treaty between Israel and Egypt... possible. It reveals that while some, such as Carter, Begin and Sadat, were driven by deeply held ideas of faith and conviction, others were military hawks who in their later years came to see peace as the only viable option; still others saw peace and stability in business terms. Regardless of their motives, these heroes found a way to come together and drive the peace process.
