The Woman King has received its first trailer from Sony Pictures. Based on true events, the film tells the story of the Agojie, a unit that consisted of all-female warriors who fiercely safeguarded the African Kingdom of Dahomey in the 1800s.

Directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood (Love & Basketball, Beyond the Lights), The Woman King follows the spirited and epic journey of General Nanisca (Viola Davis) as she equips the next generation of recruits for battle against the enemy.
