Shaka Zulu (1986) | The Full 9-Hour Epic Saga | BlackTree TV

[@Unpopularopinion2024]

I absolutely love this film!

[@tavarshia3122]

This use would air during Black History Month and I would watch it when I was in the fourth grade 1986! I looked forward to every episode.

[@theWarVet]

Right.. what a great find.. glad the YT system knew to recommend this channel. ❤

[@Natedawgg84]

You need a MVP award for uploading this epic classic! I been searching for years for this movie series! And they never show it on television. Thank you! 👏🏾

[@reg2685]

Classic indeed

[@blacktreemedia]

MVP? Maybe most improved lol. We have work to do for the MVP award

[@blacktreemedia]

But thank you!🙏🏾

[@CH33S3PANCAK3MAFIA]

Fully agree

[@AniwayasSong]

You can find and purchase the entire Series in DVD/Blu-ray. While I'm hardly shilling FOR 'Amazon' it does have some uses, still! :-)

[@allofthenames77]

Thank you for showing this movie. I remember when Shaka Zulu premiered on television. Everyone was excited and glued to their TV's for the entire film which played in parts. Shaka Zulu and Roots were movies that had to be watched in every black household. Parents made sure you watched these movies.

[@00govan00]

lmao

[@nikmansol]

We are not blacks but we loved it . Roots was boring and sensational this was good movie

[@ChristopherDwiggins]

Roots.....🤮

[@LyricSkye]

[@raymondmaccarty]

Thank you for this. My mother and I would watch this all the time in the nineties. Good times.

[@TheProdiga1One]

I'm 47 now, and I remember watching this as a kid in the late 80s. I was an African kid living in a middle-class neighbourhood, with no other black people around, except for my family. I was made fun of by kids around me for being African. Which made me ashamed of being African. This series made me proud of being African.

[@StormLaker]

In our neighborhood we could have played Zulus vs Britsh army guys- we LOVED this movie as small town white kids....mostly because it showed boobs, but we also liked it because Shaka was bad-a$$ and was stticking it to the colonizers, lol. We would run around the playground singing the theme, terrorizing the girls in our class, turning pieces of cardboard into shields and using sticks as speers, haha.

[@missmaomi28]

I almost had a seizure when I saw this was available. I didn’t know there was a +9hr version. I always thought the full version was 6hrs. Thanks for this🤙

Do you know that king Cetshwayo was king Shaka son.😊

[@theWarVet]

❤❤❤ Thank You for uploading this.. can’t believe I almost forgot it. I was young last time I saw it but never in its entirety..

[@Unpopularopinion2024]

*When I watched this film as a* *teenager, Shaka seemed like a* *superhero to me. Now, as an* *adult, I see him as the king we all* *have the potential to be, but too* *often, we act like peasants.*

[@1983shawty]

Please dont forget to give this a thumbs up, these guys did a good job with uploading this

[@MrIliasboufidis]

thank you for giving me the opportunity to watch this again, now that i'm older and can understand it better.

[@HighGek]

You hit it out the park with this one.

[@nicolemonrue]

Finding this was a pleasant surprise!!! My mother would make us watch this every time it came on TV along with Roots. I seriously was sitting here singing the intro song, lol I still remember it

[@JasmonTP]

Thank you so much. I am 73, female and Black and want my kids and Grandkids to see this movie, along with ROOTS. They're not going to see this in today's History books. (Whytes don't want their forefathers evll revealed against Black people) Again, I thank you...subbed and shared with everyone in my family.

[@dodgejay545]

Watching this movie / series as a kid was something special.. it instilled a warrior spirit ! 1 of my fav movies of all time ! 💪🏾💪🏾🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥

I saw this when it first came out when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing, especially during these times!

Amazing series. Unreal how beautiful they all were. Gorgeous, near perfect bodies!! Men and women. Their cheekbones and teeth! There isnt a plastic surgeon or dentist here in the west that could give us what they got automatically from nature. Beautiful story, beautiful people. The Africans have such pretty accents too.

[@leliawinfield8278]

I have been waiting for this Amazing movie!! I looked it up on Amazon and the price tag was a little bit out of my budget at the time. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for downloading this Awesome movie!!! 💜

[@AniwayasSong]

I remember seeing this when it first aired on TV. To say this Series didn't absolutely gob-smack me would be a *HUGE* understatement! I'll never forget how the intensity of Shaka's gaze, and his deep, gravely voice (In many ways, it reminds me of Morgan Freeman!), kept me mesmerized/fascinated! You just could NOT ignore the man/his Character! I have the complete DVD set, and watch it yearly. Learning more about African history and the Zulu culture is equally fascinating!

[@raymondmaccarty]

I can't get enough even though some parts are missing.

[@blacktreemedia]

[@nathanharris5197]

Ahead of it's time writing, directing, stellar acting and producing. The true story vs Hollywood movie were very loosely based in accuracy though. I know it was because of the time (70's) and the need to portray UK more in control of their position, being unafraid and "genuine" British civility to the mass consumer audiences & queen mum. Truth be told, every single day the British were absolutely terrified the slightest disrespect or misunderstanding perceived by Shaka or his generals, that Shaka would just have them rounded up like sheep and slaughtered. Yes, the British had the broomsticks (guns) but not nearly enough ammo & personell as Shaka and the Zulu Nation had spears and daggers. They said Shaka had a great sense of humor, but did not suffer fools who tested his patience. He treated the British the exact same way. Why? Because Shaka knew that keeping anyone Non-Zulu not knowing where they stood with him commanded fear, respect and no nonsense when it comes to business.

[@markperacullo7541]

Thanks for the upload 😊 i'll always imagined that this is the prequel of ZULU DAWN and ZULU Now i can watch ZULU DAWN and ZULU again 😊😊😊

When I was a small child in a very long time ago I remember our next door neighbour I called her granny Burke she used to baby sit me while my mum went to work I was 7 years old and I played with Tin Soldiers and she told me stories of how her husband was fighting the Zulu warriors in Africa, it was 1957 and for many years I went and stayed called granny Burke she lived to be 101 years old and blind I looked after her when I could when she past I was left a original zulu spear and a shield made from real leather they are safe in my care and I am now 74 and I have Thomas Burkes medals and his uniform which I have left to my grandson with letters written to granny Burke he knows that was a wonderful time in my life being told the stories about Thomas Burke very brave men
