The Woman King is a 2022 American historical epic film about the Agojie, the all-female warrior unit who protected the West African kingdom of Dahomey during the 17th to 19th centuries. Set in the 1820s, the film stars Viola Davis as a general who trains the next generation of warriors to fight their enemies.
I admittedly did not expect to enjoy this movie as much as I did. It had great action, very well developed characters and relationships that you grow to care about. Add that on top of how it was based on a true story and real people and the movie was just that much better. Kudos to Viola Davis for being so badass and training so much for this.
I would definitely recommend people checking this out. It was a really enjoyable watch especially for a September release.
