The Plunderers: Treasure Trail
'This is the murder of man's history and it's a tragedy.'
History is murdered in the search for buried treasure, not just gold and silver, but fractured pots and broken statues, the highly saleable relics of past civilisations. This is the story of some of that treasure. We talk to curators, smugglers, dealers, and indignant archaeologists anxious to preserve intact the evidence of the past. Can this wholesale destruction be stopped? Reporter JOHN PERCIVAL
Executive producer PAUL JOHNSTONE Producer JULIA CAVE
