Isn't it awesome?

The keystone to slave trade across centuries, the kingdom of Dahomey is a subject of a film. You know, the same Dahomey that kept enslaving Negroes and selling them wherever they could long after every last country in Europe banned slavery.

The female formation, which in history was squished like a gizka in their first engagement against French(?) infantry and was, historically, all on-board with the slave trade and slave labour, is shown as the invincible superheroines who also are abolitionists.

Now imagine the critics' reviews if someone made a film where the Confederates are the obvious, Jesus-like saviours of all the black slaves tortured by the Northern White Walkers, where they squash the Union nazis in a quick campaign and go on to rule the world in the name of extinction rebellion.

I did imagine. Too bad I can't just do what the wokies would actually do, so I'll just give this turd a well-deserved 0.
