A strong Narrative of Female Strength and Empowerment by Tanya Maswaure
The moment I watched the trailer, instant goose bumps spread over my body. I witnessed what may have been a typically male-dominated movie, starring black dark skinned women who stood and fought with confidence. The Woman King is one for the books, and the critics agree!

Her zest and fierceness instantly made her one of my favourite characters from the movie. Before the movie was released, the cast appeared on shows and tours, speaking extensively about their intense exercise routines that led to their chiselled and strong bodies.
