Epic Warrior Women 3x52min - Season 1

Drama led doc series on history’s most iconic women fighters. Each extraordinary tale of blood, sacrifice and endurance centres on the life of one young woman warrior caught up in the bloody struggles of her time.

The three-part series chronicles the military achievements of the original Amazon horse warriors of the Steppe, examines the highly trained female gladiators of Ancient Rome, and the feared all-women regiments of Dahomey, who shaped African history.

Season 2 will be completed in 2021.
