The movie The Woman King has been the subject of all sorts of controversy in the last few weeks. On this video I'll tell you about what's going on and most importantly I'll give you a historical channel's perspective on the historicity of this movie.
"The Woman King" is a historical action drama film released in 2022, directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood and starring Viola Davis in the lead role. The movie is set in the West African kingdom of Dahomey during the 19th century and focuses on the Agojie, an all-female warrior unit that protected the kingdom.
The film centers on General Nanisca, played by Viola Davis, who leads the Agojie warriors. As she trains a new generation of recruits, Nanisca prepares them to fight against an enemy that threatens their way of life.
"The Woman King" received critical acclaim for its powerful performances, particularly Davis's portrayal of Nanisca, as well as its compelling action sequences and production design. The movie also sparked discussions about historical accuracy and the incorrect portrayal of complex historical events.
Alongside Viola Davis, the cast includes Thuso Mbedu, Lashana Lynch, and John Boyega, who plays King Ghezo of Dahomey. The film's production team said that they made efforts to authentically represent the culture and setting of 19th-century Dahomey, now part of modern-day Benin but they clearly completely failed at that.
"The Woman King" takes massive creative liberties with historical events, instead of trying to bring attention to lesser-known parts of African history and the role of women warriors in that society.
