The Woman King, a historical epic starring award-winning actress Viola Davis, will transport you to the 1800s.

The film centers on General Nanisca of the Dahomey Amazons and Nawi, a driven recruit, and was inspired by actual historical events. It demonstrates how the Dahomey Amazons fought off adversaries who posed a danger to what they had achieved for, tarnished their honor, and impoverished their people.
