Description
Benin's historic female warriors known as the Amazones of Dahomey are legendary across West Africa, but a Hollywood production is now putting them again in the limelight. 'The Woman King', shown at one of Cotonou's only cinemas on Saturday, is inspired by the women who protected the ancient Kingdom of Dahomey and fought against French colonial troops more than a century ago. The 100 million dollars budget film directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood stars Viola Davis. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES of the statue in Benin and of the film's premiere in Cotonou
