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 (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. Some things are worth fighting for!

 

"A thunderously cinematic good time: see it on the biggest screen you can find." —Wendy Ide, The Guardian

"The Woman King isn’t intended to be any ordinary account of history. It is a vibrant, restorative celebration of Black womanhood in all its glory." —Clarisse Loughrey, Independent

"A great time at the movies. A rare cinematic event." —Rogan Graham, Little White Lies
