Richard Berge co-directed The Rape of Europa along with Bonni Cohen and Nicole Newnham. We talked about making this historical documentary about the plunder of Europe’s art treasures during WWII. Berge shared stories that didn’t make the final cut, and we pondered the film’s lingering moral question: can a work of art be more important than a human life?
