Asifa Bano was only eight years old when she went missing.

HISTORICAL DOCUMENTARY
The jewels were stolen. The story was rewritten.
Approximately 40 min • English • USA
Jewel Thief traces the journey of South Asia’s most legendary treasures—from the splendor of the Mughal courts through colonial extraction and their transformation into symbols of British royalty and Western luxury. Through the stories of jewels including the Koh-i-Noor and Taj Mahal diamond, the film examines cultural erasure, contested ownership, and a question that remains unresolved: Who truly owns history?
