Cambodia: Returning the Gods (S16E11)
S16E11
For many years, temples throughout Cambodia faced rampant looting, with their invaluable treasures being stolen, smuggled, and sold internationally. Now, the Cambodian government is determined to recover these artifacts. Celia Hatton has unique access to the efforts of Cambodian officials as they work to locate and reclaim their cherished antiquities. The journey takes us to seldom-visited temples and introduces us to former looters who now serve as state witnesses. We also delve into the story of a controversial British art collector widely believed to be central to this illicit trade. For many Cambodians, these statues are not mere stone; they are living deities that must be brought back home.
