Nefertiti – The Lonely Queen: Stories from the World of Looted Ancient Art

Nefertiti – The Lonely Queen: Stories from the World of Looted Ancient Art

21st TDF: World Premiere

Numerous ex-colonies, back at the time when they gained independence, struggling to concretize their national identity, found themselves in a rather awkward position: imploring, as if beggars, for the return of their cultural cornerstones that figure as centerpieces in prestigious museums all over the Western world. A documentary that explores the dim world of illicit trade in antiquities, as well as the long and hard struggle for the repatriation of all stolen treasures.
