Amina

The movie is about Amina, a Queen who lived in the sixteenth century city-state Zazzau (known as Zaria, in Nigeria).

It's not known if she really ruled Zazzau, but if she did, then she really rocked!

The movie is definitely not historically accurate, it was made in the English language entirely and all, but it paints a cool picture of what her rule might've been like. Besides, I found it really fun to watch.

It's really inspiring to see a Warrior Queen, and I'm definitely a fan of these! As long as they are believable to me!

Definitely the best (and only one I remember) African badass queen movie I've ever seen so far!
