The Apollo of Gaza: A Film by Nicolas Wadimoff

In 2013, a fisherman in Gaza saw the shape of a man buried in shallow waters. He thought it was someone who had drowned. But upon closer inspection, it was a statue - one so heavy it capsized his boat and broke the tow ropes when he first tried to pull it up. Eventually he got it to shore, then home. Along the way, he realised he might have something valuable on his hands - something that needed to be hidden until he could figure out how to sell it. But just weeks after it was discovered the statue - which depicted Apollo, the god of arts, beauty and prophecy - vanished, causing all sorts of speculation.
