Mati Diop’s feature documentary “Dahomey” is filled with quotes just like the one above. The film depicts the return of 26 royal treasures from the Kingdom of Dahomey, which was established in the 17th century. In late 2021, the artifacts were transported from museums in Paris back to their place of origin, The Republic of Benin. “Dahomey” is a film about reckoning with history that has been forever altered by colonialism.
