The Woman King
Action Drama
The story of an all-female Agojie tribe in 19th century West Africa, helmed by their fierce leader Nanisca, who faced down threats from neighbouring tribes and European slave traders.
The Woman King, by subject matter alone, is unlike any film you've seen before. The cinematography is glorious and vibrant, the battle scenes exhilarating and stunningly choreographed. This is a narrative where thoughtful character development doesn't play second fiddle to the action but rather charges each scene with the raw emotion of its heroines. Like the warrior women at its heart, this movie derives power from both muscle and passion. A triumphant and stunning piece of cinema fit for a (woman) king.
