Ceasefire

C-SPAN

56 episodes

Ceasefire, a new series that takes a different approach to political conversation. In an era when conflict often grabs the spotlight, Ceasefire creates space for something quieter but no less important: thoughtful dialogue between leaders who don’t always agree, but are willing to listen. Ceasefire offers a front-row seat to the kind of conversations that remind us what's possible when leaders choose to engage thoughtfully.
