Diop gives artistic voice to the needs of a new generation

Story

The Journey of 26 Looted Royal Treasures from the Kingdom of Dahomey, exhibited in Paris, is now being returned to Benin.

Senegal’s official submission for the “Best International Feature Film” category at the 97th Academy Awards in 2025

The documentary, with a poetic undertone, tells the story of the journey of historical artifacts returning from France to Benin.

It highlights the debates among Beninese about the significance of the event and presents a wide range of perspectives

The technique of storytelling from the point of view of the artifact is particularly captivating, which adds depth and complexity to the audience’s understanding.

Technically, the project is exceptionally well-crafted, with impressive image quality, thoughtful rhythm and captivating sound

As a European viewer, I felt that the explanation of what modern Benin is like outside the capital, which would have helped me form an opinion on the debates presented by Beninese people in the film, was somewhat lacking.

However, it is clear that the filmmaker’s goal is not to provide a comprehensive picture of the current state of the country
