Description
This film sheds light upon the common factors in various nations that allow tyrants to come to power. Fear among the people of a nation makes them turn for reassurance to strong, authoritarian personalities. This fear is what brought the like to Pol Pot, Idi Amin and Hitler to power. The film examines the rule of Idi Amin, his increasing insecurity due to poor economic policies, decreasing popularity with the Ugandan people, and threats to his power from his predecessor Milton Obote. It begs the question: was he born evil or was it power that corrupted him? Ultimately, though the film states that there is no doubt that Amin harnessed evil and propagated evil.
