Ahead of its debut in theaters today, The Woman King has been advertised as “the remarkable true story of a fierce, all-female unit known as the Agojie, who protected the west African kingdom of Dahomey in the 1800s. Set in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the film will chart how this military force protected the interests of this powerful African state, fighting the French and neighbouring tribes who enslaved their people and violated their honour.”

Well, I guess that is one way to tell the story of the kingdom of Dahomey and its cadre of female warriors. Hollywood can take all.
