Summary:

"A group of unarmed, pacific, appalled citizens are the "Last Protective Fortifications" of the human cultural heritage in the Middle East. They work in Syria and Iraq during times of strife, risking their lives, helped by those who, in exile, stand with them and support them from a distance. They save what can be saved of their heritage and identity. These human fortifications, working in the shadows, refuse the destruction of their culture, which is also our culture, for it was the cradle for later civilizations worldwide"-- From Heritage Broadcasting Service

"ISIS is waging a merciless war against Culture in the territories that it controls in Iraq, Syria, Libya, and soon Egypt. Its goal is to create a new world order by destroying the centuries-old libraries and great archaeological sites, the very places where written language and the means of conserving our heritage appeared 5 thousand years ago. Who will stop them? The New Monuments Men"-- From IMDb
