Edward Said: The Last Interview (2004): Cast

Edward Said, Columbia professor of English, was a leading literary critic and outspoken advocate for the Palestinian cause. Born in Jerusalem in 1935, his family was displaced in 1948 and settled in Cairo. After studying in the US, he lived in New York and served on the Palestine National Council until 1991, then criticized the Oslo process and Arafat’s leadership. Diagnosed with leukemia in 1991, he kept teaching and writing, granting one final interview less than a year before his 2003 death to discuss his illness, work, politics and education.
