Edward Said is widely recognised as one of the most important literary critics of the late 20th century, and for many years the most prominent spokespeople for the Palestinian cause. Said is also the author of several influential texts, including the now seminal work, Orientalism. Less than a year before his death in September 2003, he spoke at length with the filmmakers about his life, work, Palestine, politics and his continuing preoccupations. The result is Edward Said: The Last Interview - a fresh insight into one of the most brilliant minds of our time.
