Fearless leader of the all-female group of warriors, the Agojie. In “The Woman King,” Nanisca liberates abducted Dahomean women who are set to be sold into slavery.
The fearless girl is offered to King Ghezo by her father and later trains to become a full-fledged warrior of the Agojie.
General Nanisca’s trusted second-in-command of the Agojie.
As the ruler of Dahomey, he is provoked by the Oyo Empire-led abductions to start an all-out war to protect his kingdom under the leadership of General Nanisca.
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 (OscarÂŽ-winner Viola Davis) as she inspires the King to take on the enemies determined to violate their honor and destroy their way of life. Some things are worth fighting for.
