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.
