Borrowing its title from the author's memoir OUT OF PLACE: Memories of Edward Said traces Said's life and work. This first disc of the two disc set celebrates his intellectual legacy, especially his work in literary criticism and postcolonial studies. The film also shows his love of music, his role on the Palestinian National Council and his troubled relationship with Yasir Arafat.

Disc two features Edward Said: The Last Interview. Less than a year before his death from Leukemia in 2003, Edward Said was interviewed over the course of three days, during which he spoke at length about his illness, his work, Palestine and politics, his life and education, and his continuing preoccupations. This is the remarkable final testament of this passionately committed intellectual.
