About
Young Scottish doctor, Nicholas Garrigan decides it's time for an adventure after he finishes his formal education, so he decides to try his luck in Uganda, and arrives during the downfall of President Obote. General Idi Amin comes to power and asks Garrigan to become his personal doctor.
A terrifyingly unpredictable presence commands the screen as a dictator who pivots from charismatic host to bloodthirsty tyrant in a single heartbeat. This collision of youthful naivety and brutal political chaos creates a tension that feels genuinely dangerous.
