LOOT: A Story of Crime and Redemption

Don Millar / Canada / 2025 / 87 min

From the remote jungles of Cambodia to the opulent galleries of Western museums, the film traces the illegal trade of looted Cambodian antiquities. At its center is a powerful international network that, during the civil war, orchestrated the systematic plundering of temples and funneled stolen artifacts into the hands of Western collectors and institutions. Blending investigative reporting with eyewitness testimony and personal accounts of former looters, the film also sheds light on ongoing efforts to return these so-called “blood antiquities” to Cambodia.
