Gordon of Khartoum | A True Historical Epic

"Gordon of Khartoum" is a true historical epic, inspired by the 1966 classic Khartoum starring Charlton Heston, Laurence Olivier, and Ralph Richardson. This film vividly portrays the experiences of Charles George Gordon during the Mahdist War in Sudan, leading up to the dramatic Siege of Khartoum. Created entirely using Total War: Napoleon, a strategy game by The Creative Assembly, the film brings history to life through innovative storytelling.

My name is Sebastian Lassalle, and welcome to my channel. I’ve spent the past few months creating Gordon of Khartoum. It was a challenging project that required extensive research on the Mahdist War to ensure historical accuracy. While the limitations of the game presented some challenges, I’ve done my best to stay true to the events. I hope this film not only entertains but also offers you a glimpse into this fascinating chapter of history. Thank you for watching!
