The Woman King (2022)
History. Power. Legacy.“Their fight wasn’t just for a kingdom—it was for freedom.”
The Woman King is a breathtaking historical epic that brings to life the fierce Agojie—the all-female warrior army that defended the West African kingdom of Dahomey in the 1800s. At its heart is General Nanisca (Viola Davis), a fearless leader who trains a new generation of warriors to stand against colonial forces and the brutal slave trade.
Why It Hits Hard:
Viola Davis delivers a powerhouse performance—gritty, commanding, unforgettable
Thuso Mbedu stuns in a breakout role as the bold and rebellious Nawi
Intense battles, raw emotion, and a deep sense of purpose
Visually striking with action that’s as fierce as its message
More than a war film, The Woman King is a story of sisterhood, survival, and the unstoppable strength of women fighting for their people, their future, and their freedom.
A cinematic triumph of courage and resilience.
