Some might concede that the seminal legal drama 12 Angry Men might have something to teach us about conflict resolution. Might the same be said, though, of Danny DeVito’s 1989 black comedy, The War of the Roses? What could Clint Eastwood’s 2008 drama, Gran Torino, teach us about mediating disputes? In this exciting and original work of nonfiction, veteran mediator Helen Lightstone takes these and other questions seriously, asking what movies might offer as teaching tools when it comes to alternative dispute resolution. Designed with students of Lightstone Academy for Conflict Resolution’s advanced mediation course, “The Quintessentials,” in mind, this book is broken down into five ...
