It is a great film.

Rating: 10/10 (11 December 2017)

It's a very accurate depiction of those events, but possibly veers too much to the official line of the time. What happened there was incredible bravery on both sides, but proved what the Boers had learned long ago. Concentrated firepower within a fortified position can stop far superior numbers of less well armed assailants. Everyone there deserved a Victoria cross, but those awarded were basically due to a thankful government following the debacle of Isandlwala the day before. I love both films, but I'd rate Zulu Dawn as slightly better.
