The Great Belzoni
1995
50 mins
This Egyptian epic was made for the Discovery Channel and then bought by the BBC. It tells the amazing story of a nearly forgotten Italian tombraider who stood 6ft 7 in his socks and was responsible for taking some of the best Egyptian Antiquities now housed in the British Museum. The reconstructions were huge and done actually in amongst the same ruins Belzoni plundered them from. You could do that then. No interviews or archive were allowed..
