The Last King of Scotland…

The movie is two years old but we have watched it this weekend…the story will stay in my mind for quite some time... The 70’s, just-graduated Scottisch doctor Nicholas Garrigan moves to Uganda and meet the new president Idi Amin, becomes his personal doctor, advisor, friend and eventually…the “white monkey”. This story shows how despotic and cruel the Amin was and what was happening in the country during his leadership … extraordinary, unbelievably shocking and tragic. Similar to “Blood Diamond” but better…
A. told me to watch “Hotel Rwanda”, also based on the real story … and also very extreme. I am curious…
