Best comment under the trailer:**

I see a lot of people defending this saying "who cares if the Dahomeys enslaved people, they did other things too. People don't feel offended when it's not a movie about Romans that doesnt shows slavery or crucification"

Dude, this entire war was about slavery. Because the Dahomeys entire culture existed based on slavery, because their entire existence was about raiding other African cities and enslaving people. This is why the French decided to step in and fight a war to put an end to their empire in the first place. And a large portion of the French forces were also Africans who were tired of Dahomey's shit. (like the Senegalese Tirailleurs. They should had just made a movie about them, and it would be a cool movie about black soldiers putting the final nail in the coffin of the last great enslaver empire in the world. THEY are the ones that deserves a movie about them, not their enslavers) By the time this war takes place (1892), slavery already had been banned in the entire western world.(Brazil was the last country to abolish slavery, in 1888).

If you still don't understand how bad the concept of this movie is, then try to imagine a World War Two movie where the Germans are invaded by the French, who have concentration camps to exterminate Germans in Paris, and then say it's "based on a powerful true story". This is what this movie looks like. It's disgusting. Every single person involved with the production of this movie should feel ashamed.

Spoilers: It's going to be difficulty for the her to become a "woman king" because when the city was captured, the coward king tried to set the whole city on fire and then ran away. Let's say there was not much more of a kingdom to govern after the war.**
