Bradley Gordon names it “one of the greatest art heists in history.” Starting in the French colonial period, and continuing through to the Vietnam War and Pol Pot’s reign of terror, thousands of Cambodian statues have been stolen from temples and sold on to buyers across the world. A man named Falcon recalls being asked to dig up the treasures of one of the last kings from the Champa period. “I was very poor. Our country was still at war then.” Falcon didn’t have a choice, but he now regrets what happened. “I’m sorry to see it ended up overseas. I'd be grateful if it could be returned” he says. These artifacts are now on display in institutions like the National Gallery of Australia and the British Museum. These museums have agreed to give some artifacts back – but not all of them. There are still huge questions to be asked about their acquisitions processes. “They belong to the Cambodian people. For us, they are not just art” says Pen Moni Makara, the Cambodian Secretary of State for Culture.
