In Gina Prince-Blythewood’s film, the Agojie, a group of all-female warriors, protects the African kingdom of Dahomey with skills and fierceness unlike anything the world has ever seen. But even this battle-hardened group is at risk when a foreign enemy arrives. Oscar winner Viola Davis and Golden Globe winner John Boyega star in this stirring, surprising tale of loyalty and tenacity, based on a true story. (U.S., 2022, 135m)
“Every bit as majestic and monumental as its title implies … pulses with energy, tightly coiled intensity and Shakespearean filial drama.” –Washington Post
