Empire in Revolt
Throughout the history of the British Empire, colonial subjects regularly took up arms against their British rulers. Amongst the earliest films of the Empire are those which document one such uprising: the Boer War (1899-1902).

The Colonial Film website is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and features films from the British Film Institute, the Imperial War Museum, and the British Empire and Commonwealth Museum.
