Zulu Dawn: History vs Hollywood (Did They Get It Right?)

Описание: Zulu Dawn is one of the most famous films ever made about the Anglo-Zulu War - but how accurate is it?

This video uses short clips under fair-dealing/fair-use for the purposes of critique, analysis, and historical discussion.

In this video, I react to key scenes from Zulu Dawn (1979) and break down what the film gets right, what it gets wrong, and where Hollywood quietly bends history. From British officers and command decisions to Zulu tactics and the reality of Isandlwana, this is a historian’s look at how the story was adapted for the screen.

This isn’t nit-picking for the sake of it. Some details matter - because they shape how we understand the British Army, the Zulu forces, and one of the most dramatic defeats in Victorian military history.
