Synopsis
Dahomey
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.
The Donn of Tiki
Donn Beach spent years embellishing the details of his extraordinary life. This documentary attempts to separate fact from fabrication with the help of the people who knew him, historians, and recently resurfaced audio recordings of Donn himself, as we explore the legacy Donn left behind.
