This is a film about political unrest and dictatorial regimes in Uganda. The story is told through the eyes of a rather unsavory character who decides to get out of Scotland and be a charity aid worker in Uganda.

He quickly gives up his work in the villages for the fame and fortune of being the President's personal physician. It all goes horribly wrong from that point and end rather nastily for all concerned.



A better than average film which makes you think about the horrors Uganda was subjected to in 1979. I would not say it was a great film and wonder why it would be considered a piece of entertainment. It had the feel of more like a documentary . . . .

Not seen it yet but I will do soon. I thought the book by Giles Foden, on which the film is based, was an excellent read.

I'd have to awkward and give it 3.5 stars, purely because something bothers me about it that I can't quite put my finger on, but it is pretty entertaining. However, I won't be searching for it on DVD when it comes out.
