About Art of Action: The Woman King
In 1832, the Kingdom of Dahomey is under threat and the all-female team of warriors, the Agojie, are determined to defeat their enemies. Lead by headstong General Nanisca (Viola Davis) and trusted confidants, Izogie (Lashana Lynch) and Amenza (Sheila Atim), they teach the young women of their found family just what it means to protect their home and people.
Inspired by true events, The Woman King explores underrepresented histories of women at the forefront of their own triumphs.
