NOW SHOWING
“The Woman King” at Screenville Cinemas
“THE WOMAN KING” is now showing at Screenville Cinemas of Island City Mall and Alturas Mall.
The remarkable story of the all-female unit warriors of Agojie who protected the African kingdom of Dahomey in the 1800s with skills and a fierceness unlike anything the world has ever seen, “The Woman King” is now showing at Screenville Cinemas of Island City Mall and Alturas Mall.
Inspired by true events, the film 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 really worth fighting for. Agojie is the all-woman army of Dahomey. At its height in the 1840s, it boasted an army so fierce that its enemies spoke of its prodigious bravery. This 6,000-strong force Agojie raided villages under cover of darkness, took captives and slashed off resisters’ heads to return to their king as trophies of war. Through these actions, the Agoije established Dahomey’s preeminence over neighboring kingdoms and became known as Amazons due to their similarities to the warrior women of Greek myth.
