We all know the legend of Robin Hood and his Merry men.
Meet Rhama Al Hud and her sister Zenna. Set in 1100's Jerusalem during a politically fueled war, Rhama follows her sister into the thick of the battle. Along the way the sisters meet the diverse folks that become their found family and help them steal from the rich to give to the poor.
Aminah Mae Safi takes this old legend and breaths new life into it, while weaving it together with history from the 3rd crusades in Travelers Along the Way. My favorite part was seeing not only a young woman being portrayed as Robin Hood, but a young, powerful biopic woman.
