This clip is a series of short snapshots by the Greek Ministry of Culture and Hellenic Culture Organization annimations with gradual transitions shows the history of the Parthenon. The angles of view, color, music, and occasional dramatic demonstrations of destruction lull one into feeling for the "owners" of the Parthenon throughout its history. It draws one to feel for the "owners" as victims of the powerful countries who stole their cultural heritage through the years.
I like how the storyboard portrays various political and religious forces' impacts upon the Parthenon. The director, Costa Gavras, created some controversy by portraying these participants in sometimes unfavorable lights.
