Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Progressive

Primary

The film's central thesis explicitly promotes progressive ideology by championing female empowerment through an all-female warrior unit and depicting a kingdom's moral evolution away from the slave trade towards ethical economic practices, making its core messages distinctly left-leaning.

The movie showcases significant diversity through its predominantly Black, all-female warrior cast in a historical African setting. Its narrative explicitly critiques traditional power structures by portraying European characters involved in the slave trade negatively, while strongly elevating the agency and strength of Black women.

Secondary

The film features the Agojie, an all-female warrior unit, who consistently engage in and win close-quarters physical combat against male Oyo warriors and European slave traders. General Nanisca and Nawi are prominently shown defeating multiple male opponents using melee weapons and martial arts.

The Oyo Empire, depicted with Islamic leadership, is shown as an antagonistic force involved in the slave trade and conflict with Dahomey.

The Woman King centers on the all-female Agojie warriors of Dahomey and their struggles. The film does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes, therefore there is no specific portrayal to evaluate within its narrative.

The film "The Woman King" focuses on the Agojie, an all-female warrior unit in 19th-century Dahomey. Its narrative centers on themes of female empowerment, sisterhood, and the fight against the slave trade. There are no identifiable transsexual characters or themes present in the movie's plot or character arcs.

The film depicts the historically all-female Agojie warriors of Dahomey and other historical figures, all of whom maintain their historically established genders. No character originally established as one gender is portrayed as a different gender.

The film depicts historical figures and a fictionalized narrative set within the 19th-century West African Kingdom of Dahomey.
