The Woman King is a 2022 action-adventure film that tells the story of General Nanisca (Viola Davis), leader of the all-female regiment of warriors known as the Agojie, who trains a new generation of female warriors to fight against the Oyo Empire and its Portuguese slave traders led by Santo Ferreira. Among these warriors is Nawi (Thuso Mbedu), a strong-willed girl who discovers she has a familial connection to Nanisca, with whom she shares a past trauma and embarks on a journey to rescue her fellow Agojie and defeat their enemies in an all-out war for the kingdom of Dahomey.
