Iarsmaí
Documentary featuring Irish institutions wrestling with the decolonisation of historical collections acquired during the British colonial period. Through stolen skulls in Trinity College Dublin, Aboriginal items taken by Irish settlers in Australia in the Ulster Museum and a collection of looted Benin bronzes in the National Museum in Dublin, the film explores what decolonisation means, and why Black Lives Matter protests were a crucial part of the process.

Iarsmaí airs on BBC Two Northern Ireland at 10:00 PM, Sunday 9 February. (Subtitles, repeat.)
