Khartoum

I thought it was an exceptionally good movie, about as historically accurate as possible, and the ending reflected the most heroic of the available accounts of < SPOILER ALERT> Gordon's death. Actually considering current events maybe there will be a remake, "Kobane", without the heroism, only the bloodshed. About 10,000 residents of Khartoum where slaughtered, and they were never offered the opportunity to surrender.

I saw Khartoum a week ago on one of the movie channels.
It’s awful.
