SUMMARY:The Apollo of Gaza
DESCRIPTION:\n\nNicolas Wadimoff\n\n2018 | 1 h 18 min\n\n\n\n\n\nIn 2013\
 , an ancient statue of Apollo was found in the waters off Gaza—before di
 sappearing under mysterious circumstances. Is it the work of forgers\, or 
 a gift from the gods to a Palestinian people desperately in need of hope? 
 Soon the rumours start to swirl\, while behind the scenes local and intern
 ational players start jostling—some driven by historical preservation an
 d others by purely commercial interests. Filmed in Gaza and Jerusalem\, Th
 e Apollo of Gaza plays out like a mystery built around a national treasure
  that is the stuff of dreams. The Apollo of Gaza is an engaging reflection
  on the passage of time and the fragility of civilizations\, as well as a 
 poetic and philosophical meditation that immerses us in the often-misunder
 stood realities of life in a place that continues to pay a heavy price for
  the seemingly endless Israeli-Palestinian conflict—a place where life d
 oggedly carries on\, resisting. Like a meteor streaking across the sky\, t
 he statue of Apollo brings a moment of light and beauty to Gaza. Can it he
 lp restore dignity to a people\, revealing a glorious history and fosterin
 g pride in a nation often misrepresented and demeaned?\n\n\n\n\n\nFor more
