7. Zulu: The True Story
Aired Oct 24, 200350 min
The Battle of Rorke's Drift is routinely presented as a significant British victory of the Zulu wars.

Battle re-enactments shot on location and dramatisation of Queen Victoria's journals explore one of the most effective cover-ups in British military history.
