TV tonight: Lupita Nyong’o and the female army who inspired Black Panther

Warrior Women With Lupita Nyong’o
10pm, Channel 4

Fresh from her turn as Wakandan spy Nakia in the box-office hit Black Panther, Nyong’o travels to Benin to research the real-life inspirations for that film’s all-female band of African warriors. She is empathic when talking to local women and researches the history of the anti-colonial army of the Agoji, who fought invading European forces from the 17th to the 19th century. Slick visuals and Nyong’o’s relaxed presenting style make this eminently watchable. Ammar Kalia
