Movie Haiku:Standard Western conventions are used as counterpoint to tell this story of a group of British soldiers "circling their wagons" to fight off hostile African warriors. The Brits survive by maintaining their formal discipline & very stiff upper lips under the most arduous of conditions. Based on an actual incident.
