"No doubt many of you recall the hubbub that ensued several years back
when a group of Mormon businessmen and video retailers began selling 'sanitized' versions of big Hollywood movies like Titanic. The
Directors Guild Of America first protested then sued, arguing that no
one’s allowed to bowdlerize their work without permission. . . . The real story isn't just about intellectual property; it's about the
daily difficulties that the devoutly religious have in trying to
participate in mainstream American culture while retaining as much of
the purity of their own beliefs as they can."

"On the surface, this dense, dynamic documentary, based on the book by Lynn H. Nicholas, takes on the high drama and difficult moral quandaries of Adolf Hitler's campaign to plunder the great artworks of Europe and the Allied effort to preserve and return them in the heat of World War II. But the story of Nazi Germany's industrialized pillage goes much deeper and the filmmakers expose a chilling facet of Hitler's final solution: the attempt to systematically eradicate Jewish and Slavic culture from top to bottom, as if to sweep away all vestiges of the races Hitler deemed inferior."
