This is like a story that uses historical people. But, not based off of reality. He was never a slave or captured.This is just an OK watch. I think its a TV show and another movie more inline with history. My major beefs with the other two is how Afrakan spirituality is portrayed. With the evil witch etc. Some of the scenes do translate European ideology then and now. The one scene the European woman says to Shaka" forgive and give up" for every European life taken a 100 of yours will be taken. Thats a loose paraphrase.And other words Afrakans shouldn't fight Europeans, allow Europeans to colonize Afrakans govern Afrakans and that's peace. The idea that Europeans can come into Afraka, with motives of controlling Afrakans, and there should be some type of bargaining agreement. Its just a cheap movie thats an OK buy.
