Cambodia: Returning the Gods

For decades, temples across Cambodia were looted and their treasures stolen, smuggled and sold abroad. But now the Cambodian government wants them back.

Celia Hatton has exclusive access to the Cambodian authorities' fight to trace and reclaim their precious antiquities.

For many Cambodians, the statues aren't stone objects – they're living gods that need to return home.
