A polemical, intellectually rigorous documentary that uses African art as a lens to indict colonialism, racism, and the devaluation of non-Western cultures.

Commissioned by the journal Présence Africaine, this short documentary examines how African art is devalued and alienated through colonial and museum contexts. Beginning with the question of why African works are confined to ethnographic displays while Greek or Egyptian art is celebrated, the film became a landmark of anti-colonial cinema and was banned in France for eight years.
