The Colossus -
The $15 million-budgeted movie tells of ailing arch-colonist Cecil Rhodes` belief that he can only recover his health if he can hear the sound of English songbirds outside his window in Cape Town.
Ornithologist Francis Wills is hired to transport 500 songbirds to Rhodes` home in South Africa, where he falls in love with Olive Schreiner, a local firebrand activist fighting against Rhodes and trying to prevent the inevitable war against the Boers.
Wills finds himself at the dangerous center of a daring plot to stop the war.
