The 1985 assassination of Palestinian American activist Alex Odeh
in his California office haunted US professor and activist William
Lafi Youmans for decades, until he suggested someone should tackle
it in a documentary. As it turned out, that someone would be him.
Co-directed with Jason Osder, Who Killed Alex Odeh? revisits the
unsolved murder. After premiering at Sundance, the gripping
documentary debut stops on its prestigious festival run at El
Gouna, where the director found time for a conversation with
Lidanoir about fighting for justice, the crucial role of Odeh’s
family, and the political forces behind the killing whose ripples
have reverberated through the US Palestinian community until today.
