When Captain America: Civil War first aired in 2016, who didn’t immediately fall in love with the Dora Milaje, T’Challa’s badass female bodyguards? If you want to know about the real-life inspiration behind these warrior women, then The Woman King needs to be top of your watch-list this weekend. Viola Davis as a war general, training a new generation of women to protect their homeland? Yes, please!
The Woman King
Some things are worth fighting for… Filmed on location in South Africa, The Woman King follows 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 (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. The Woman King also stars Thuso Mbedu, Lashana Lynch, Sheila Atim, and John Boyega.
The Enforcer

Now he has one last chance to make up for his past and find redemption – both for himself and his family – before the mob hunts him down for his betrayal.
Tad The Lost Explorer And The Emerald Tablet
