In this personal and thought-provoking documentary, journalist and author Bruce Clark retraces his lifelong connection with Greece and the Parthenon, reflecting on how ancient democratic ideals and aesthetic brilliance continue to shape our understanding of Western culture. With a blend of intellectual inquiry and emotional resonance, From Cambridge with Love explores how the sculptures, born from the spirit of Classical Athens, embody not just technical mastery but a profound civic vision. Shot in Cambridge and around the Acropolis in Athens, the film brings together a distinguished cast of voices—including classicists Paul Cartledge, Edith Hall and Janet Suzman, alongside acclaimed sculptor Helaine Blumenfeld—to examine the legacy of the Parthenon sculptures and the debates surrounding their rightful home.
