N2  - "Based on the book of the same name by Robert Bevan, explores the urgent issue of cultural destruction, looking at how, over the past century, the intensity of destruction has accelerated, and at how legislation and policy have moved in and out of step with the issue"--Disc jacket.
N2  - The bombing of Sarajevo's National Library and the burning of its ancient books. The looting of the Iraqi National Museum and destruction of its priceless historical objects. The beheading of Kahled al-Asaad, long-time lead archaeologist for the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the city of Palmyra, Syria, for refusing to give up hidden artifacts. In the "cradle of civilization" and beyond, the last century has seen the rise of cultural destruction: the intentional annihilation of irreplaceable artwork, artifacts, historical sites and their stewards in desperate attempts to erase collective history and identity.
