Moving Tale

Rating: Null/10 (19 May 2007)

This film is based on the memoirs of the personal physician of the Ugandan dictator in 1970's.
This movie is so moving. From the beginning, the portrayal of the relationship between Dr Garrison and the president is already strong and solid. Another superb aspect of story telling is the paranoid nature of a dictator. The inability to trust anyone is shown in the film very well. Working for the president could be prestigious, but it could also be dangerously fatal. The final torture scene is simply unwatchable because it is so real, so scary, so sad. And yet, we know it was real. It was in fact the fate of 300,000 people.
