Hello fellow travellers! In this episode, I discuss "The Woman King". A movie about the Agojie warrior women of the kingdom of Dahomey that used to exist in the region of modern day Benin, a country in west Africa. I discuss what you can expect from the movie and some of the elements of its production that personally stood out for me. In addition to the movie, I also discuss "Warrior Women with Lupita Nyong'o" which is a documentary about the Agojie warriors. I suggest that you watch it in addition to watching the movie, to help balance what is fictional about these women with what is factual. So that you may have a well rounded idea of who these women were. The documentary is available on Youtube. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I've rescheduled the podcast publishing day. New episodes will now be published on Saturdays for the remainder of season 1. Another disclaimer is that I make the mistake of calling the king of Dahomey Gohez. His correct name is Ghezo.
