| − | A short foilm about the Xhosa prophetess [[Nongqawuse]] and the 1856-7 cattle-killing. The description in the online catalogue of ''Colonial Film: Moving Images of the British Empire''[http://www.colonialfilm.org.uk/node/1541] says: "Members of the Xhosa tribe of South Africa re-enact an old legend in which blind belief in a false prophet leads the tribe to ruin. The commentary draws the parallel with Hitler's Germany."
