The Zulu's Heart review

A mother and her young daughter are abducted by the Zulus who killed the woman's husband, but their recently bereaved Chief takes pity on them. Griffith's sentimental streak shines through this simple but hokey tale. A decent knife fight between the Chief and one of his braves during the film's climax is the only moment of note in an otherwise unconvincing short.
