Selves and Others: A Portrait of Edward Said (2004): Cast

Edward Said, a leading contemporary intellectual and vocal advocate for the Palestinian cause, is filmed weeks before his 2003 death by a French crew who follow him and his family. The intimate documentary captures his reflections on exile’s influence on his ideas, scholarship and activism, his nomadic childhood, his perspective on Eastern identity in the West, and how New York balances tradition with constant change.
