《祖鲁战争》公映50周年纪念活动举行

It's 50 years since the release of the iconic film Zulu and to mark the occasion, a special gala has been held in London with Prince Harry as the star guest.

The war epic from 1964, which starred Michael Caine and Stanley Baker, tells the true story of the 1879 Battle of Rorke's Drift between the British Army and the Zulu warriors in South Africa.

A small band of vastly outnumbered soldiers successfully defended the small outpost from thousands of Zulus.

Suzanna Oliver is the daughter of the film's director Cy Enfield.

"It's the human story really. It's not just about a battle which obviously is a big story in itself but it shows the pathos of the battlefield really and the bravery of the Zulus as well as the white soldiers as well. I mean, it was bravery on all sides."

At the event, a newly remastered version of the film was screened for the first time and many current members of the Zulu tribe flew into the English capital to join in the celebrations.
