Thomas Edward Lawrence was a British intelligence operative who participated in the Arab Revolt during the First World War. He became a celebrity upon his return to England, though he was uncomfortable with fame. After a subsequent career in the air force - and possibly as a spy - he died under strange circumstances. We interview Mark Griffin, whose upcoming film, "Lawrence: After Arabia,” explores the strange circumstances surrounding his death.
