===Film and television=== *Dahomey's role in the slave trade is the central focus of the film ''[[Cobra Verde]]'' (1987), directed by [[Werner Herzog]] and adapted from the novel ''[[The Viceroy of Ouidah]]'' (1980). The main protagonist is a fictional Brazilian slave trader who travels to the kingdom, and the character is based upon the historical Brazilian slave trader [[Francisco Félix de Sousa]], who was politically and economically influential in Dahomey during the reigns of King [[Adandozan]] and King [[Ghezo]]. *The historical television drama ''[[Victoria (British TV series)|Victoria]]'' (2016) portrays the real-life story of [[Sarah Forbes Bonetta]] being freed from slavery in Dahomey in season 2 episode 17 ("Comfort and Joy"). *The Dahomey Amazons are depicted in the film ''[[The Woman King]]'' (2022), directed by [[Gina Prince-Bythewood]]. * A documentary titled ''[[Dahomey (film)|Dahomey]]'' directed by [[Mati Diop]], an international co-production among France, Senegal and Benin, was selected in the Competition at the [[74th Berlin International Film Festival]] to be held from February 15 to 25, 2024, where it will compete for the [[Golden Bear]].
