Rooney Mara Discusses Berlin Title ‘La Cocina’ With Alonso Ruizpalacios And Shares Update On Her Audrey Hepburn Biopic & Pawel Pawlikowski’s ‘The Island’What role do cultural artifacts play in shaping our identity, and to what extent have they been used to animate campaigns of violent subjugation? The doc borrows its name from the former West African kingdom of Dahomey, located in the south of today’s Republic of Benin. It was founded in the 17th century by King Houegbadja.

Diop’s doc opens in November 2021 as twenty-six royal treasures from the former Kingdom are about to leave Paris to return to their country of origin. Along with thousands of others, these artifacts were plundered by French colonial troops in 1892. But what do these ancient treasures mean in a country that has had to forge a new existence in their absence? The film’s full synopsis reads: While the soul of the artifacts is freed, debate rages among students of the University of Abomey-Calavi.
