WIF and Columbia TriStar present an exclusive virtual screening of THE WOMAN KING, followed by a Q&A moderated by WIF CEO Kirsten Schaffer with director Gina Prince-Bythewood, producer Cathy Schulman, p.g.a., editor Terilyn A. Shropshire, ACE, writer Dana Stevens, and costume designer Gersha Phillips.
Synopsis: In the 1800s, a group of all-female warriors protects the African kingdom of Dahomey with skills and fierceness unlike anything the world has ever seen. Faced with a new threat, Gen. Nanisca trains the next generation of recruits to fight against a foreign enemy that's determined to destroy their way of life.
