Zulu Dawn

Prequel to the historical epic Zulu, showing the build-up to the British invasion of Zululand as the colonial authorities took the Zulus' defiant stance on tribal customs as a declaration of war. The British general arrogantly underestimates the Zulus and divides his forces confident in his superior fire power, leading to the massacre of 1,500 British soldiers as they are overwhelmed by superior numbers.
