Viola Davis Addresses The Woman King Historical Accuracy Criticisms

Viola Davis addresses criticisms of The Woman King's historical accuracy: 'Most of the story is fictionalized. It has to be.'

The Woman King star, Viola Davis, recently addressed criticisms regarding the movie's historical accuracy. Set in 1823, the film stars Davis as General Nanisca, the leader of the all-women legion of Dahomean warriors known as the Agojie. Shiela Atim stars as Nanisca's friend and Lieutenant Amenza, Lashana Lynch portrays the confident Lieutenant Izogie, and Thuso Mbedu stars as the young and brash recruit, Nawi.

Davis: First of all, I agree with Gina Prince-Bythewood’s saying is you’re not going to win an argument on Twitter. We entered the story where the kingdom was in flux, at a crossroads. They were looking to find some way to keep their civilization and kingdom alive. It wasn’t until the late 1800s that they were decimated. Most of the story is fictionalized. It has to be.
