Released in 1979 for the hundredth anniversary of the battle, this is a fairly accurate recreation of the arrogance of Lord Chelmsford which led to the massacre at Isandlwana, the only bit they failed to show was the eclipse which is recorded as having happened during the height of the Zulu attack which, coupled with the smoke from the Martini-Henry's, helped the Zulu overwhelm the column.

This is a great film, but the quality of the DVD is awful. The picture is very "noisy" on many of the dark scenes. Possibly it has been copied from tape, not from the original film stock. But whatever the reason, it seriously detracts from the enjoyment of the film.
