This film follows the initially protected world of Nicholas Garrigan, a Scotsman who travels to Uganda in search of another life, where he connects with the newly elected president, Idi Amin. After being convinced to become Amin’s personal physician, Garrigan starts to realise Uganda isn’t as free under Amin’s rule as he initially thought. Stellar performance by Forest Whitaker, brilliant cinematography, great script and direction makes this highly recommendable. A very focused effort and a great film, all in all.
