This documentary is the story of archeologist
Steve Bourget's race against the clock to explore and preserve what
remains of a mysterious Precolumbian civilization in Peru. He confronts
the looters of ancient tombs, impoverished peasants tempted by the
offers of the middlemen who work for international traffickers and
collectors.
A fascinating behind-the-scenes investigation of the international
trade in artefacts, a business that ranks third worldwide after
drugs and arms.
