Edward Said: The Last Interview

Synopsis: Edward Said was born in Jerusalem in 1935. Internationally acclaimed for his books on literature, politics, and the intersection of politics and culture, Said was the most prominent spokesman for the Palestinian cause outside the Middle East.

Diagnosed with incurable leukemia in 1991, towards the end of his life Said simply stopped giving interviews. But in November 2002 he made a final exception, and over the course of three days spoke with unparalleled intimacy about his illness, his work, his own life and education, and his enduring preoccupations.
