Synopsis: Zulu Dawn (1979)
Synopis: ZULU DAWN depicts the bloody Battle of Isandhlwana, in which 30,000 Zulu warriors wiped out nearly 1,500 British troops stationed in Natal. The film focuses most sharply on the preparations for battle and the political situation in the region at that time. Taking Zulu chief Cetshwayo's defiant stance on tribal customs as a declaration of war, General Lord Chelmsford sends in hundreds of British troops in order to squash the spear-carrying Africans with superior fire power. The sheer number of Zulus, however, overwhelms the British infantry.Features: Zulu Dawn (1979)

The prequel to ZULU based on true events. The movie was made after the release of ZULU. Although there are some good battle sequences in ZULU DAWN, ZULU is still better and the one to watch. The video is sort of dated and the audio at time not too clear. For those who are curious in how numerical superiority could compensate for weaponry inferiority in battle, this is the movie for you. ...
