Does anyone know the name of the movie that is about these ivory traders that go to a house in this small village where one of them lives with his daughter when his friend gets a fever. He falls in love with the daughter and her father gets him to dress up as a German soldier I believe and go around and collect taxes from the villagers. He goes to a few villages and runs in to the real tax collector. They still the money collected and return home. He marrys the girl they have a child and then while the men are out ivory hunting the soldiers burn the house down and kill the child. They take revenge by blowing up a war ship that was thought to be sunk and killing the admiral.

There is one part where they find the guy that killed their child hauling Iron sheets across the country. When they start to fire on them the Iron sheets go rolling down the hill. The one guy also goes up in a plane to find the ship and barely makes it back crashing on the beach and killing the piolit.

This movie was on Movieplex earlier this year.

Thanks for you help.

Based on the real-life events surrounding the WWI German ship Konigsberg. Once she was sunk by the British off East Africa, her guns were salvaged by the Germans and at one point were mounted on a passenger ferry on Lake Tanganyika to help control this vital waterway.
