The movie stars the brilliant Viola Davis as General Nanisca, the formidable leader of an all-female army known as the Agojie. This sisterhood’s fierceness is unlike anything the world has ever seen. When West African leader Oba Ade (Jimmy Odukoya) and Portuguese colonizer Santo Ferreira (Hero Fiennes Tiffin) come to the shores of Dahomey, it is up to the General to train the next generation of young fighters to defend their lands or lose their kingdom and freedom forever.
