Its hard to know if you would understand what actually happened at Isandlewana if all you had to go on was this film - but all the elements are there - Screwed down ammo boxes - underestimation of Zulu capabilities - A trumped up rationalization of why we are going to annex Zulu land. The personalities - or lack of them - Overall a feast for the Military Historian. Not as satisfactory as a Movie (no happy ending here). The missing element here is that although this was a major embarrassment for the British Empire - The subsequent victory at Rourkes drift allowed them to save face - regroup and ultimately devastate the Zulus

If you own Zulu, then you should purchase Zulu Dawn as this put into perspective the greatness of the Zulu Nation. It is slower that Zulu, as it must lay the ground work for the greatest humiliation of the British Army and why. The slaughter is swift, the defeat masterful and pride over arching.

This makes a nice companion piece to the movie Zulu. Released after Zulu, this movie is never the less a prequel. Both movies are stand alone, so it is not imperative to see one or the other before viewing either. A first rate cast and African scenery makes this a winner. Though there seems to be a bit of an anti-British undercurrent, the movie has only a few historical inaccuracies. The British did make a mistake, and sadly for the men involved, it resulted in the greatest defeat of a modern army by a tribal force. Incredible battle scenes make this a must.
