Guided by award-winning actress Angela Bassett’s powerful narration, the upcoming series QUEENS showcases the wildest places on the planet that have always been home to powerful leaders.
“Queens” was planned as a six-part look at the roles females play in various species. But as the National Geographic documentary was being assembled, it became clear there was need for a seventh episode – one looking at the female-led company that produced the series.
