You Hide me is considered the first documentary film from English-speaking independent Africa. Shot in England in 1970, You Hide Me captures the visit of two Africans to the British Museum where they discover the extent of the theft and concealment of ancient and rare African Art, specifically Benin bronzes, hidden in plastic bags and wooden boxes in the basement. With this film, Owoo makes the case for looted artworks to be returned to their place of origin.
