Dahomey ~ Presented in celebration of Juneteenth 2025

Presented in celebration of Juneteenth 2025 in partnership with Juneteenth Anchorage and Umoja Coworking & Incubator

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.
