He was an illegitimate prince who relaimed his birthright with brilliance and brutality. He created a vast new nation from warring tribes and forged an army that defied the most powerful empire on Earth. He was Shaka Zulu.

The story of the legendary African King is brought to life in an epic, 10-part production, whis is one of the most compelling and controversial films in history. From his boyhood exile to the bloody struggles that solidified his rule and his proud defiance of British colonists, Shaka Zulu is the remarkable tale of a man who stood at the heart of a battle between two worlds.

Filmed entirely on location in South Africa Shaka Zulu stars Christoper Lee (from Lord of the Rings and Star Wars Episode II), Edward Fox (from Gandhi) and Henry Cele as Shaka.
