This documentary aims to present the complexity of human historical discourse and to explore one of the most fundamental, yet often not openly-discussed element of human nature – greed. Following the camera, audiences are invited to a journey into the British Museum and Metropolitan Museum of Art, and to think about what really goes behind these world-class museums in relation to colonialism. It calls for crucial and honest conversations about power, justice and human nature in light of the brutality of colonialists, encouraging contemporary audiences to reflect upon the essence of political conflicts and confront the paradoxical nature of history with an open, critical view.
