"a bold and memorable history lesson" – IndieWire
★★★★ – Guardian
Winner of the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival 2024, director Mati Diop’s enlightening documentary explores the far-reaching issues surrounding appropriation, self-determination and restitution.
Set in November 2021, the film charts 26 royal treasures from the Kingdom of Dahomey that are due to leave Paris and return to their country of origin: the present-day Republic of Benin. Using multiple perspectives Diop questions how these artefacts should be received in a country that has reinvented itself in their absence.
In English, French & Fon with English subtitles.
