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
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
