The repatriation of ancestral remains from French museums to New Zealand marks a profound shift in the treatment of human remains held in collections. This documentary explores the complex journey of these artifacts, from their initial acquisition during the 19th century to the legal and ethical challenges of returning them to their rightful communities. Through the lens of the Rouen Museum, the film highlights the collaborative efforts between scientists, politicians, and the Maori people to honor the dignity of the deceased and address the historical injustices of colonial collecting practices.
