Sentinels of Bronze

Sentinels of Bronze (Italian:Sentinelle di bronzo) is a 1937 Italian war film directed by Romolo Marcellini and starring Fosco Giachetti, Giovanni Grasso and Doris Duranti. The film is a propaganda work set in the days leading up to the outbreak of the Second Italo-Ethiopian War. In an incident modeled on the Wal Wal incident, an Italian outpost is besieged by large numbers of Abyssinian troops, but the garrison refuse to surrender. It was part of a series of films set in Italy's African Empire during the Fascist era.
