Viola Davis as The Woman King



For this episode of The Words on Flicks Show, I was joined by Philadelphia-based journalist and broadcaster Tonya Pendleton, who had many thoughts and observations to share about why The Woman King is so significant, how the lens of history can be distorted even by those that are purportedly recording it for posterity, the power of imagery and iconography, and the enduring beauty of Black Girl Magic.
