History Department, 4020 HSSB

This eye-opening documentary focuses on the illicit trade in Greek antiquities and how this signals a deeper crisis in our shared global cultural heritage. The film takes viewers from locations in Greece, Southern Italy, and Turkey, straight through to the auction floor at Christie’s. It also highlights important cases such as the Euphronios krater, the Corinth Museum theft, acquisitions by the Getty Museum, and the Robin Symes and Giacomo Medici prosecutions.
