The Destruction of Memory:
Produced in 2016
Directed by: Tim Slade
(English with Arabic Translation)
Date of screening: Saturday, 23rd March 2019
Over the past century, cultural destruction has wrought catastrophic results across the globe. This war against culture is not over – it’s been steadily increasing. In Syria and Iraq, the ‘cradle of civilization’, millennia of culture are being destroyed. The push to protect, salvage and rebuild has moved in step with destruction. Legislation and policy have played a role, but heroic individuals have fought back, risking and losing their lives to protect not just other human beings, but our cultural identity – to save the record of who we are. This movie based on the book of the same name by Robert Bevan.
