50ª mostra > filmes > Edward Said: Between Worlds

Twenty years after his death, renowned Palestinian-American scholar, musician, and intellectual Edward Said recounts the untold history of Palestine through sweeping archival footage and recordings. The first documentary made with full access to the Said family and estate, it traces his political awakening, personal struggles, and lifelong reckoning with exile. Featuring never-before-seen family archives, home movies, rare television appearances, lectures, and materials from Columbia University, the film spans seven decades, from his childhood in Jerusalem to his death in New York City, asking who has the right to tell their own story.
