The film "Looted and Hidden" explores Palestinian archives taken by Israeli / Jewish forces during the 20th century and now buried in Israeli military vaults.

The film questions archival practices in colonial regions and conflict zones, underscoring the importance of uncovering what's been altered or removed.
