SUMMARY
A Talk With Remarkable People takes us back to the roots of the geographical changes that occured in the Middle East and specially in Palestine in the Middle of the twentieth century. Imperialism, colonialism, settler Colonialism, and orientalism are in the heart of the film. Here, one can meet brilliant intellectuals in the USA and elsewhere who give us their analysis on these very complex concepts and subjects.
The role of Great Britain in the implementation of the Zionist policy and project in historical Palestine is analyzed. Professor Emerita of Sociology Boston, Elaine Hagopian, reviews the changes in the geopolitics of the region along with Professor Noam Chomsky who gives his own analysis on the global changes that occurred in this troubled region and which continues until now. Lastly, we revisit the words of Professor Edward Said, Columbia University New York, who discusses his important concept ´Orientalism’, and how the West sees the East.
