Plot.
Thousands of royal artifacts of Dahomey, a West African kingdom, were taken by French colonists in the 19th century for collection and display in Paris. Centuries later, a fraction returned to their home in modern-day Benin. This dramatized documentary follows the journey of 26 of the treasures as told by cultural art historians, embattled university students, and one of the repatriated statues himself.

Wiki.
Dahomey is a 2024 internationally co-produced documentary film directed by Mati Diop. It is a dramatised account of 26 royal treasures from the Kingdom of Dahomey (in modern-day Republic of Benin), which were held in a museum in France. The film explores how the artifacts were returned from France to Benin, and the reactions of Beninese people.
The film had its world premiere at the main competition of the 74th Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the festival's top prize, the Golden Bear. Dahomey was selected as the Senegalese entry for Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards. It was released theatrically in France on 11 September 2024, by Les Films du Losange, to widespread critical acclaim.
