The Stormtrooper Scandal Airs June 20 2024 on BBC Two

Catch the intriguing tale of “The Stormtrooper Scandal,” airing at 9:00 PM on Thursday, June 20, 2024, on BBC Two. This documentary delves into the world of London art curator Ben Moore and his ambitious Art Wars NFT project, which caused waves in the art community.

Art Wars featured a collection of over 1,100 Stormtrooper helmets, each uniquely designed by renowned artists like Jake and Dinos Chapman, Anish Kapoor, and Damien Hirst.

Viewers will witness the rise and fall of this groundbreaking yet controversial art venture, exploring how the concept of digital ownership collided with traditional art practices. The documentary sheds light on the implications of NFTs in the art world, from questions of authenticity and value to the evolving definitions of art and ownership in the digital age.
