The story of the contrasting roles looted Benin Art plays across cultural divides of the West versus the people of Benin. Told through the lens of Prof Peju Layiwola, a descendant of Oba Ovaramwen Nogbaisi, who ruled over Benin during the British Punitive Expedition of 1897. It chronicles the pains of mass murder, the theft of items of cultural heritage, and the agitations of Orientalism.
Reviews
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
