Story: |
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
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.
