The Woman King is the remarkable story of the Agojie, the all-female unit of warriors who protected the African Kingdom of Dahomey in the 1800s with skills and a fierceness unlike anything the world has ever seen. Inspired by true events, The Woman King follows the emotionally epic journey of General Nanisca (Oscar®-winner Viola Davis) as she trains the next generation of recruits and readies them for battle against an enemy determined to destroy their way of life.
Starring: Adrienne Warren, Hero Fiennes-Tiffin, Jayme Lawson, Jimmy Odukoya, John Boyega, Jordan Bolger, Lashana Lynch, Masali Baduza, Shaina West, Sheila Atim, Thuso Mbedu, Viola Davis
“The Woman King may be a fable, but its power is real: Her name is Viola Davis, and she’s nothing less than magnificent.” (Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post)
“I knew nothing about the real story of the Agojie before I saw “The Woman King.” I thought it was a breathtaking, creative and powerful film. And despite knowing the history now, I still do.” (Alexis Potter, Arizona Republic)
