The documentary film "Dahomey" follows the journey of 26 royal treasures from the Kingdom of Dahomey as they are returned to their home in modern-day Benin after being taken by French colonists in the 19th century. The film includes a discussion by students at the University of Abomey-Calavi, who present their views on the repatriation of cultural assets. The return of these artifacts is celebrated by the population, with statues of legendary kings Glele and Béhanzin being among those returned, as well as an intricate design statue that requires perpetual care.
