Breaker Morant is about the Boer War. However, this war involved no natives. It was between the Dutch Boers (who had been in South Africa for several generations) and the fairly recently arrived British.There are two superb films that deal with the Zulu War (where the British invaded the Zulus, the most powerful and hostile tribe Africa has known). The first film is Zulu from 1964, and it deals with the battle of Rorkes Drift where 4,000 Zulus were repulsed by 100 entrenched British soldiers. The other Zulu movie is Zulu Dawn from 1979. This film flopped, but I find it to be Zulu's equal, albeit in a different way. Zulu Dawn deals with the first battle of the war, the worst defeat ever inflicted upon a European power by natives. Both are fascinating films that showcase the height of both the Zulu and the British Empire.
