Big Screen, Big Crucibles VIII: The Monuments Men
In this final episode of our summer series, BIG SCREEN, BIG CRUCIBLES, we discuss the crucibles and the overcoming of them in THE MONUMENTS MEN.
That's the name given during WWII to the ragtag team of art historians and curators who form a unit to recover stolen art before Hitler destroys it. The mission becomes urgent, and their crucibles more difficult, when they learn of Hitler's order to destroy the artwork if the Third Reich falls and the Russians start looking to grab some of the spoils for themselves.
Dive deeper into your personal narratives with our BIG SCREEN, BIG CRUCIBLES guided journal, meticulously crafted to enhance your experience with our podcast series exploring cinema's most transformative crucible stories. This journal serves as a dedicated space for introspection, inviting you to connect the profound journeys of on-screen characters with the pivotal moments that have shaped your own life.
