I would highly recommend Juror 8 to anyone interested to learn more about negotiation techniques in a light hearted manner. Juror 8 focuses on South Korea’s first jury panel tasked with deciding the outcome of a seemingly straightforward murder case. However, as the defendant suddenly claims memory loss, the jurors face a complex scenario that requires unanimous consensus on the defendant's guilt or innocence. Through this complicated situation, the film showcases various interests at play, such as some jurors' desire to end the deliberations quickly, the court’s interest in maintaining public favour, and the chief judge's career ambitions. These differing interests lead to positional bargaining, illustrating what Fisher and Ury (2011) advise against in their book, Getting to Yes. However, through the principled negotiation framework, the film uncovers how despite the different interests, a fair mutually beneficial negotiation can be achieved. Beyond understanding negotiation techniques, the movie is particularly creative in terms of how they present the different possibilities of the case and I really enjoyed the different interactions between the various stakeholders in the case which demonstrated the different positions and interests they had. If you have some time to spare, this movie is a must watch!
