Movie Plot

Back to top

A Scottish doctor on a Ugandan medical mission becomes irreversibly entangled with one of the world's most barbaric figures: Idi Amin. Impressed by Dr. Garrigan's brazen attitude in a moment of crisis, the newly self-appointed Ugandan President Amin hand picks him as his personal physician and closest confidante. Though Garrigan is at first flattered and fascinated by his new position, he soon awakens to Amin's savagery--and his own complicity in it.

A Look into the reign of Idi Amin from a different

What I loved most: Forest Whitetaker's acting

What I really hated: compressed storyline

Sheds some light for people who have no idea who idi amin is or what was done during his reign over uganda. The movie which is parts actual from the president's doctor's point of view on how amin ruled his country and things he did. Most note-worthy is Forest Whitetaker on how he portrayed his character, its no wonder he was nominated for an Oscar award
