In case you weren’t aware, “The Woman King” is inspired by a true story. In the 1800s there were warrior women called the Agojie who protected the kingdom and, most significantly, the king of Dahomey Africa.
I’ll get this out of the way for you… this movie is an absolute must-see! I’m predicting right now that you’ll hear a lot about it during award season.

“Gigi & Nate” starts with a not-so-surprising accident that leaves its protagonist in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. No spoilers here. You get this information from the trailer. After we see a cute little capuchin monkey (played by Allie) being saved from an unsafe environment, writer David Hudgins shows us a well-mannered, happy Nate, spending the fourth of July with his family. With an extraordinary life thus far and a bright future ahead, Nate has the time of his life.
