The Woman King is based on the Dahomey Amazons who were frontline soldiers in the army of the Kingdom of Dahomey, a West African empire that existed from 1625 to 1894. Its remnants lie in modern-day Benin, which currently borders Nigeria and Togo. Whether conquering neighboring tribes or resisting European forces, the Amazons were known for their fearlessness. In one of the final battles against the French in 1892 before the kingdom became a French colony, it is said only 17 out of 434 Amazons came back alive.   The movie's cast includes Viola Davis, John Boyega, Lashana Lynch and many more highly acclaimed actors. Come out and join us and see the amazing film prior to the nationwide release.
