The Woman King conveniently ignores empire’s slave-owning roots

The Woman King is an upcoming historical epic piece centered on Gen. Nanisca of the Dahomey Amazons of the Kingdom of Dahomey. It tells the tale of the valiant efforts of Nanisca to fight off Europeans who were intent on taking over Africa. But, while the movie is advertised in its trailer as “based on powerful true events,” it seems to take great liberties with historical truths and facts — as is typically the woke Left’s way. By all available accounts, based on synopses and trailers available to the public, the movie is cinematic fake news and a disinformation machine.
