It is sickening that this man died in vain, and spent all the energy he had left looking around the world for these paintings which are either destroyed or hidden. It saddens me he was deprived of this happiness.

Wonderful idea for recovering stolen art!! Alas, the film stops mid-way and then reverts back to the beginning. However, saying that, what I do like is the idea of film and putting on the internet or public television to highten awareness. In my case I spent years in Southeast Asia and watch many many Vietnames and Cambodian treasure vanish without a trace.
