Afrika Eye - The Woman King
Join us for an unforgettable watch of award winning 'Woman King' under the stars at Trinity Centre's outdoor 'Den' as part of a weekender celebrating black female action heroes within BFI's Art of Action season.
Woman King 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. After provoking the empire of Oyo by liberating enslaved women, General Nanisca prepares to face the wrath along with an all-women army of her own.

Providing the weather holds out for us, we will have an informal post film discussion around the fire in the garden.
