In Search of Palestine: Edward Said's Return Home Trailers

For Palestinian expatriate Edward Said, the return to his homeland amounted to a painful inquiry into his past. This program captures the interconnection between Said's personal recollections and the shared memory of the Palestinian people. Far from ignoring the contemporary realities of the Middle East, Said's perspective relates the ruins of history to the complacent and destructive policies of present-day governments, and delivers a powerful articulation of the weaknesses of the Oslo accords. His intellectual legacy provides valuable insight into the circumstances of the second intifada, as well as the faint steps toward peace that have followed. A BBCW Production.

Reviews
Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
