The 1964 film Zulu is one of the most well-made war films of the period.
It reenacts, somewhat accurately, the 1879 Battle of Rorke’s Drift , in which a small British regiment successfully defended a missionary station against a Zulu attack.
The British were trying to take over Zululand , after manufacturing a pretext for war.
Frida Ghitis : The film's empathy is massively lopsided. The British killed approximately 350 Zulus at the battle and executed any wounded Zulus they found.
Ghitis says the feature of imperialism that most fascinates me is its propaganda, the way the domination of others is presented as somehow good or benign.
Empire propaganda is elaborate, and empires come up with ways to explain themselves, Ghitis writes.
In Britain , it was widely believed that the Empire was relatively benign compared with others, or even that it was some kind of gift to the world.
We should study the British Empire today because its history demonstrates human beings’ fantastic capacity for self-delusion.
The pageantry of empire was designed to conceal the nakedness of the sword upon which we really rely.
