Khartoum

"Khartoum" is a historical drama film that delves into real events of 1884-1885 during the Mahdist War in Sudan. As typical of the History genre, it emphasizes a detailed depiction of historical figures, political conflicts, and military engagements. Elements such as period-accurate costumes, set designs, and a narrative focused on leadership, colonial policies, and warfare characterize the film.
