The Woman King is a new historical epic set during the 19th century, featuring an all-female group of warriors called the Agojie. Starring Viola Davis, and directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, the Agojie must protect their West African kingdom of Dahomey. Charlie Maris reviews.
There are lots of reasons to like The Woman King, Gina Prince-Bythewood’s thrilling new action drama, which was released here yesterday. It’s the brainchild of actor and producer Maria Bello, who developed a passionate interest in the Agojie, a female warrior caste in the west African kingdom of Dahomey, and became convinced their story would make a great Hollywood epic.
The Woman King is an upcoming historical epic piece centered on Gen. Nanisca of the Dahomey Amazons of the Kingdom of Dahomey. It tells the tale of the valiant efforts of Nanisca to fight off Europeans who were intent on taking over Africa. But, while the movie is advertised in its trailer as "based on powerful true events," it seems to take great liberties with historical truths and facts as is typically the woke Left s way. By all available accounts, based on synopses and trailers available to the public, the movie is cinematic fake news and a disinformation machine.
