Amina (2021 film)

Amina is a 2021 Nigerian action drama film directed by Izu Ojukwu.

It is based on the story of the life of 16th century Zazzau empire warrior Queen Amina.

After witnessing the fight, a young Amina goes on to tell her father, the Emir of Zazzau (Abu Chris Gbakann) that she wants to be a warrior.

This comes with resistance from Magaji Mjinyawa who advises that the Zazzau’s armies has never recruited a woman.

Ojukwu responded that the lack of sufficient archives and data for Nigeria's historical events made it difficult to produce the movie.
