The Woman King is a bold, brilliant, and breath-taking film that combines historical fact with ferocious action-adventure to create an epic story in the same vein as a Gladiator, Spartacus or Ben Hur classic.
Viola Davis (best known for her powerful performances in Fences and How to Get Away With Murder) plays Nanisca, the hardcore General of the Agojie all- female army that defended their kingdom of Dahomey (now Benin) from the early 17th to early 20th centuries.
