Synopsis

Forest Whiitaker gives an Oscar-winning performance as Idi Amin, the Ugandan liberator turned brutal dictator, who slaughtered his own citizens and political opponents during the 1970s. Seen through the eyes of the fictional Nicholas Garrigan, a young idealistic doctor from Scotland, what starts off as an assignment of a lifetime soon descends into the stuff of nightmares. This is a riveting but frightening story of power gone mad, opening up questions about politics and corruption which remain relevant today.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."

- Marlon Perkins, Teacher, Whitstable and Seasalter Endowed CofE Junior School, Kent
