Why watch this film?
In 16th-century Zazzau, now Zaria, Nigeria, Amina must utilize her military skills and tactics to defend her family's kingdom.
""Amina" tells the true story of the warrior of the Zazzau Empire, Queen Amina. She used her skills and military tactics to protect the kingdom of her family. Set in the 16th century, the production is a period drama dominated by an emotional roller coaster: while it is full of action and adventure, it also manages to emotionally touch the viewer. The film shows the incredible legacy of a great woman who lived in a time completely dominated by men (ok, even though this reality still exists, times are better). While she defeats enemies, she still faces all the challenges to find a way for herself and for the people of her kingdom. If you like epic stories starring women, you will be interested in "Amina"."
