The Interpreter (2005): Before Zuwanie's Arrival

The clip Before Zuwanie's Arrival from The Interpreter (2005) with Catherine Keener, Sean Penn

Bet you really miss this. Welcome back.
Ma'am? Excuse me. Please don't touch the Prime Minister.
I need you to step back, please.
Woods.
The first of the demonstrators.
They're here to protest the appearance later this week by Edmond Zuwanie.
Not just his political future but any future for him
hinges on that speech to the General Assembly.
Dr. Zuwanie is accused of genocide,
but he's expected to argue that his actions were a defensive response to terrorism
and not acts of aggression, as some Security Council members have charged.
Secret Service.
Just a moment, please.
We're with Foreign Dignitary Protection.
It's a branch of the US government.
Dot.
This is international territory. I need you to wait for an escort.
Zuwanie lands at 8.45 hours.
State Department says no meet-and-greet, no shopping, no Lion King.
He leaves your podium, his plane has two hours to clear US airspace,
unless the UN cancels the visit
and Tobin and I can get back to the really important work that we were doing this morning.
That's up to the GA President. We just present a threat assessment.
Why is he coming in the first place?
To make a speech.
He's trying to avoid being brought before the International Criminal Court.
Security Council was debating whether to bring charges of ethnic cleansing,
so he'll come, talk about free elections and democratic reform
and pray that that appeases everyone.
So the stakes are high for him. He's not going to cancel.
Tell me about the interpreter.
Born here, but lived mostly in Africa and Europe.
She studied music in Johannesburg
and linguistics at the Sorbonne and various countries in Europe.
Parents?
