In this eye-opening documentary, we delve into the intriguing and contentious story of the Elgin Marbles. These ancient Greek sculptures, once a part of the Parthenon, have been the subject of international debate for centuries. Our journey begins in early 19th-century Athens, under Ottoman rule, where Thomas Bruce, the 7th Earl of Elgin, obtained a controversial permit to remove sculptures from the Parthenon.



Looking at the evidence through expert interviews we explore the circumstances under which Lord Elgin removed these artifacts and transported them to Britain. We scrutinize the legality and ethics of this act, considering the historical context and the ongoing debate over cultural heritage and colonialism.


Join us as we unravel the layers of history, politics, and art surrounding the Elgin Marbles, and explore the pressing question: should these ancient treasures be returned to Greece? Dive into the heart of this historical dispute and decide for yourself.
