The current war still rages but let’s not forget what happened at the beginning of this disaster.
Here’s a video I directed about the looting of the Iraqi National Museum. Thought it might be of interest. It consists of an interview with Dr. Donny George, the former director, and includes images of the destruction, as well as, Iraqi music suggested by Dr. George. The link is below.
