The illegal market of art works
is a criminal traffic whose mo-
netary worth is second only to
drugs trafficking. Mind-bog-
gling sums of money change
hands between tomb robbers,
middlemen, big international
dealers and prestigious mu-
seums. With the help of Niko-
las Zirganos, a Greek journalist
who has been investigating the
world’s hot spots for years, the
film reveals the role played by
these institutions in the looting
of the world’s artistic heritage.

INVESTIGATIONS CURRENT AFFAIRS
Most people don’t notice tiles
about resurrecting the dead
that have been appearing in
city streets over 30 years. Justin
Duerr does. Solving the mystery
is his obsession. He’s been col-
lecting clues in U.S. and South
American city streets. As he
pieces together events he finds
a story more surreal than he
imagined, and it’s very close to
home.
