Short summary

Back to productions

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.
