As Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, Forest Whitaker gives one of the greatest performances of modern movie history. This is Amin’s incredible story as seen through the eyes of Nicholas Garrigan, a young Scotsman who becomes the volatile leader’s personal physician. Seduced by Amin’s charisma and blinded by decadence, Garrigan’s dream life becomes a waking nightmare of betrayal and madness from which there is no escape.
