Maria Bello Instagram – Excited to share the news that the fierce director @gpbmadeit is joining The Woman King team. Our film is a historical epic inspired by true events that took place in The Kingdom of Dahomey, one of the most powerful states of Africa in the 18th and 19th centuries. The story follows Nanisca (Viola Davis), general of the all-female military unit, and her daughter Nawi, who together fought the French and neighboring tribes who violated their honor, enslaved their people and threatened to destroy everything they’ve lived for. Get ready world! @juveeproductions @violadavis
