This documentary follows Looty, a London-based art practice, as they embark on a global journey to digitally repatriate the Rosetta Stone, a historically significant artifact held by the British Museum. Traveling through Nigeria, Switzerland, Egypt, and London, the film explores the complexities of cultural ownership, the potential of digital technology, and the ongoing debate surrounding looted artifacts. As the world’s first digital repatriation of stolen artwork, Looty’s mission challenges traditional notions of museum ownership and offers a new perspective on cultural heritage.
