A historical epic inspired by true events that took place in The kingdom of Dahomey, one of the most powerful states of Africa in the 18th and 19th centuries. The story follows Nanisca (Davis), general of the all-female military unit, and her Daughter Nawi, who together fought the French and neighbouring tribes who violated their honour, enslaved their people and threatened to destroy everything they've lived for. 

The Woman King (2022) is the new history movie starring Viola Davis, Lashana Lynch and John Boyega.
