The Woman King
In 1832, the Kingdom of Dahomey is under threat and the all-female team of warriors, the Agojie, are determined to defeat their enemies. Lead by headstong General Nanisca (Viola Davis) and trusted confidants, Izogie (Lashana Lynch) and Amenza (Sheila Atim), they teach the young women of their found family just what it means to protect their home and people. Inspired by true events, The Woman King explores underrepresented histories of women at the forefront of their own triumphs. Screening as part of Call to Action, a mini season presented by Reclaim the Frame within Art of Action – a major UK-wide celebration of big screen action done for real, focusing on the actors and stunt performers risking life and limb to create some of the most memorable on-screen action, supported by National Lottery and BFI Film Audience Network. ----- Year of Celebration Film - Donate £50 at checkout 2024 marks 85 years since our cinema (originally the Cosmo) was built, 50 years since GFT was founded and the 20th edition of Glasgow Film Festival.
