About this episode
The Woman King - Editor, Terilyn A. Shropshire ACE For over twenty years editor Terilyn A. Shropshire ACE and director Gina Prince-Bythewood have worked hand-in-hand to entertain and inspire audiences with films dating back to Gina's directorial debut, LOVE & BASKETBALL (2000). Following their hit action film, THE OLD GUARD (2020) , Teri and Gina have joined forces once again to create an epic tale about the Agojie, a fierce sisterhood of African warriors who fought for the kingdom of Dahomey in the 1800s; with skills and a ferocity unlike anything the world has ever seen. Inspired by true events, THE WOMAN KING follows the emotionally epic journey of General Nanisca (Oscar®-winner Viola Davis) as she trains the next generation of recruits and readies them for battle against an enemy determined to destroy their way of life.
