Film to be released in Sept 2022.


I see a ton of teeth gnashing and clothes rendering over a film that few, if any, of the public has seen yet. But but but, they're black! They're women! Get over it.

There are some good sources of information on the Amazons. Here is one; https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/dahomeys-women-warriors-88286072/

Stanley Alpern's book is another. I don't think they ignore the slavery issue. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1169342.Amazons_of_Black_Sparta?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=ifKz10KaDC&rank=1

The movie will ignore the slavery issue and paint a "black good white bad" image.

You might be right. If you're wrong, what excuse will you provide?
