In the early 2000's, Israeli and Palestinian negotiators nearly reached a peace agreement. Within weeks, the opportunity vanished. Frontline examines the faltering quest for peace in "Shattered Dreams of Peace: The Road from Oslo" - a film by Charles Enderlin, a Franco-Israeli journalist, specializing in the Middle East and Israel - beginning with the 1995 assassination of Yitzhak Rabin. The two-and-a-half-hour documentary traces the peace process through years of negotiations, with new footage of Israeli-Palestinian negotiations and interviews with key figures on both sides.

As an FBI agent who specialized in counter-terrorism, John P. O'Neill investigated the bombing of the American embassies in Africa, the USS Cole in Yemen, the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, and the first attack on the World Trade Center. O'Neill came to believe America should kill Osama bin Laden before Al Qaeda launched a devastating attack, but his was often a lonely voice. A controversial figure inside the buttoned-down world of the FBI, he was forced out of the job he loved and entered the private sector as director of security for the World Trade Center.
