7) Dahomey
Dahomey is a historical film revisiting the ancient West African Kingdom, focusing more on its rich history and cultural dynamics. The movie is more about the women warriors, especially the Agojie, an all-female military unit, and how they fight against colonial forces. It is a historically rooted captivating narrative that depicts female strength and leadership in a time dominated by patriarchal rule. This film is a very powerful study of African history, particularly in the underrepresented female perspectives, through stunning visuals and historical accuracy.
