Greetings, everyone. The 1897 invasion of Benin marked a climax in British hypocrisy and exposed the lie of the 'civilising misision' . While the British spread propaganda that Africa was backward and needed their help, The Kingdom of Benin had fantastic artwork and technology artwork dating back 500 years.
This film event plus discussion is being held in London on Saturday.
This is an adult film with uncompromising violence.
Before the film, there will be a talk by Dr. Ama Biney, Grand Theft Africa: The story of the Benin Bronzes.
Regards,
Zhana
