About the Screening
In DAHOMEY, 26 royal treasures stolen from the African Kingdom of Dahomey are due to leave Paris and return to the present-day Republic of Benin. Using multiple perspectives, the film questions how these artifacts should be received in a country that has reinvented itself in their absence.
