The Woman King is the remarkable story of the Agojie, the all-female unit of warriors who protected the African Kingdom of Dahomey in the 1800s with skills and a fierceness unlike anything the world has ever seen. Inspired by true events, The Woman King follows the emotionally epic journey of General Nanisca (Oscar®-winner Viola Davis) as she trains the next generation of recruits and readies them for battle against an enemy determined to destroy their way of life. Some things are worth fighting for.

YouTube Reviewer Grace Randolph gives a GREAT review and recommendation for the new movie The Woman King. I will be going to see this and will give my thoughts after I do.

Saw it last night!
Highly recommended.
I'll stay away from spoilers for now, except to say that I ALSO avoided the OP video.
