Events › Monday Matinee: The Woman King (2022)

Join us for a film screening of The Woman King. 

In the late eighteenth century, the Kingdom of Dahomey flourished as one of Africa’s most powerful states. Yet as European merchants encroach, seeking riches at the expense of its people, warrior Nanisca takes a stand to uphold her peoples’ freedom. Inspired by true events.

The room is limited to 20 attendees and registration is recommended.  Please register online or at the Edgewater Branch reference desk.  Walk-ins will be taken on a first come, first served basis.
