Lost and Found

BBC World Service - The Forum, Lost and Found

Can loss be a force for renewal, forcing us to adjust and experience things differently?

Can loss be a force for renewal, a way of forcing us to adjust and experience things differently?

From the horrors of human suffering and plunder of ancient artefacts in war to the reshaping of musical traditions, we examine the notion of things lost and found. 

British journalist Julian Borger reflects on the unmasking of some of the most notorious Balkan war criminals, Iraqi archaeologist Dr Lamia al-Gailani Werr mourns the loss of ancient relics in modern conflict and American pianist Bruce Brubaker deconstructs modern minimalist music.
