In the 19th century, French colonizers removed thousands of artifacts from the West African kingdom of Dahomey, transporting them to Paris. Centuries later, a small collection of these treasures made their way back to present-day Benin. This documentary blends dramatization with real accounts from historians, students, and cultural figures to explore the return of 26 significant objects and what their homecoming means.
