There's a film about a similar story about an African warrior queen in Niger. Queen Azna beat French troops called Sarraounia by a French Mauritanian filmmaker, Med Hondo. It won the main Fespaco award in 1987 at Burkina Faso. Check YouTube for clips and sometimes you can find the full film.

Oops, I meant that the film is called Sarraounia.

I am eagerly awaiting the movie. Have you fantasized about who will act in the key roles?
