For decades, temples across Cambodia were looted and their treasures stolen, smuggled and sold abroad. But now the Cambodian government wants them back.
Celia Hatton has exclusive access to the Cambodian authorities' fight to trace and reclaim their precious antiquities. We visit rarely seen temples, track down former looters turned state witnesses, and unravel the tale of the controversial British art collector who many believe was at the heart of the trade.
