THX for the "Blood River" link
excellent example for nationalistic propaganda and rewriting history by the winners.
While the Zulu warriors are excellently attired in their complete ceremonial dress!, walking at pace to meet the Boer musket volleys! throwing spears they did not use at the time! and wading through the river that was dry at the time of the battle!
The Voortrekkers are of course heroic and did not need the reloading done by their 200 black "servants" to maintain the deadly fire!
Also no mention of the shooting at the sitting reserve an the far side of the river, nor the fact that the Trekkers exploited a dynastic struggle between Dingane and prince Mapande to acquire Zulu land
Historic value - 0
Entertainement - excellent pictures of "attacking" Zulu
(sorry, but while I enjoy the entertainemet value I cannot abstain from being pissed by these kinds of movies.....
)
all
cum grano salis please
