How does extremely valuable medieval art work, taken from a Quedlinburg, Germany church after WW2, end up in a desolate Texas border town decades later? Well, the answer is a rather fascinating tale that plays out like a detective story in this documentary, directed by Cassie Hay.
It seems a most dogged German investigator, named Will Korte, was determined to spend years looking into this mystery and wanting to get these treasures returned to the church. The paths he goes down, forming alliances along the way, can be filled with pitfalls but also rewards, and there's lots of surprises to be revealed.
I really like docs like this and found this one particularly interesting, and although it's deliberately paced and quite talky you may find it equally as good.
