A very cruel movie about a newly elected president of African republic Uganda. All the people cherished him at first and celebrated his victory. He said that he is the one who understands them. That he is one of them.
The story begins when a young doctor from Scotland decides to go to Uganda to help in small villages far away from "civilized" world.
He has a strange meeting with a president and president immediately starts to like him. It was the start of new friendship. The president invites him to work as his personal doctor. Later he makes him a leader of health department and later even more.
It is strange that a black president is such a great friend with a white Scot. But soon after the president is elected there are several rebellion that are quickly silenced and all the collaborators just disappears.
It is shown how the president is scared of death and what all he would do to get away from it. He quietly executed all the potential assassins and the people who are opposing him.
When young doctor realizes what is going on in the country it is but too late for him to leave. They have stolen his passport and some other personal belongings. It is unfortunately that he fells for one of president's wives (that the president is no longer keen of) and even makes her pregnant.
But the punishment is so cruel that he could not believe it. Her legs and arms were separated from body and switched in places.
Later on even he, once the presidents best friend, becomes his enemy and the president shoes his real face. But he manages to escape and run from a country with another group of tourists. And his mission is to tell the world what is really going on in the Uganda.
His dictation was over in 70's of 20th century.
Really great movie after the real-life story. Very cruel and very real.
