Queen Njinga was historically one of the few recognised African leaders in this barbaric era.
Slavery was rife in this period of which the catholic Church greatly profited. Was the African slavery as brutal as the Portuguese Dutch or British slave trade, where the average lifespan of a colonial slave in the so called new world was eight to ten years, that another debate.
She was a leader but one women fighting against European lead slavery is always a losing battle.
I take the positive in this drama documentary, not 100% accurate but a good watch and if if gets people to do more research on African history I take it.
