From Absolute History.

In this gripping documentary, we explore the perilous world of the "Book Hunters"—the courageous guardians risking their lives to save humanity’s cultural DNA from the frontlines of war and disaster. From Father Najib smuggling 13th-century manuscripts past ISIS checkpoints in Iraq, to the librarian who carried the priceless Sarajevo Haggadah through sniper fire in banana boxes, we uncover the shocking stories of the treasures that almost vanished forever.
