Museums and institutions in Ireland and abroad are 'decolonising' their collections, partly because of campaigns like Rhodes Must Fall and Black Lives Matter and also because of a changing emphasis on how collections should be presented in a modern museum setting.

This documentary examines Ireland's colonial legacy through the story of stolen skulls in Trinity College Dublin, indigenous items taken by Irish settlers in Australia, and how some of the Benin Bronzes, looted from Africa in the 1890s, ended up in the National Museum in Dublin.

The film features the reburial of 13 stolen skulls returned by Trinity College Dublin to the island community of Inishbofin, off the Galway coast, following a lengthy campaign for their return.
