Un-Documented: Unlearning Imperial Plunder (2019)

Colonizers stole not just statues, but rights inscribed in objects.

• Documentary

Un-Documented argues against Alain Resnais and Chris Marker’s film Statues Also Die (1963). Focusing on plundered objects in European museums and listening to the call of asylum seekers to enter European countries, their former colonizing powers, the film defends the idea that their rights are inscribed in these objects that were kept well documented all these years.
