Available for the first time on DVD John Hurt is your guide to one of the most fascinating periods in the history of the British Empire. Zulu Wars is a major film production telling the story though spectacular and authentic reconstructions of key events and battles which featured in the rise of the Zulu nation. The great warrior King Shaka Zulu forged a mighty nation based on Spartan principles and the programme looks at his legacy. Tension grew between the Zulus and the Boer settlers resulting in massacres and a final battle at Blood River - recreated here in spectacular... fashion. The DVD also explains how the British were drawn into conflict and features all new recreations of the pivotal battles of Isandlhwana and Rorke''s Drift. Western and Zulu experts both give their accounts of the battles supported by eyewitness accounts and extraordinary period photographs. This unique extra length DVD concludes with a superb re-creation of the Battle of Ulundi where the might of the Zulu nation met a well prepared British force armed with cannon rockets - and the new Gatling Gun.
