Wikipedia article




'Majuba: Heuwel van Duiwe' ('Majuba: Hill of Doves'), is a 1968 South African War drama film directed by David Millin and co-produced by Roscoe C. Behrmann and Hyman Kirstein. The film stars Roland Robinson, Reinet Maasdorp, and Patrick Mynhardt in lead roles along with Siegfried Mynhardt, Anna Neethling-Pohl and Morn Coetzer in supportive roles.

The film was inspired by real events of the First Anglo-Boer War, Battle of Majuba Hill. The film received positive reviews and won several awards at international film festivals.

The film's original cinema release version ran to almost three hours yet its local distributors cut the film down to have more daily screenings as it was immensely popular: the shortened version is all that remains of the original cut and the excised footage was never archived.
