Simon Donaldson Directed by Gaynor Macfarlane Sound by Gav Murchie and Fraser Jackson Production Coordinator - Bethany Woodhead As the pressure on the UK’s courts intensifies, more and more cases are going through mediation as an alternative form of conflict resolution. In our new series we present cases in which opposing versions of the truth have hardened into what seems like irreconcilable positions. The mediator has to try to find compromise, agreement and a way forward.
