Shaw, Caroline Frances Cooke Rating68% This 1916 epic film was one of the first South African dramatic film productions. It tells the story of the Boers’ Great Trek at the end of the 30s, concluding with a reconstruction of the 1838 Battle of Blood River, where a few hundred Afrikaners defeated several thousand Zulus. Commemorating as it did their view of a highly contentious period of history, the film came to be revered by Afrikaners. It enjoyed a long after-life in South African classrooms and was shown annually on the date of the Battle of Blood River.
