Shaka Zulu (1986)

The story of Shaka Zulu is based on a true historical figure and period, but the extent of its accuracy varies greatly by the portrayal, with many myths and exaggerated accounts often overshadowing historical facts. While Shaka Zulu was a powerful king who unified the Zulu nation and is famous in South African history, details about his life are contested, and some accounts, particularly those from colonial writers aiming to promote British annexation, were intentionally distorted to portray him as a monstrous figure.
