The Movie--Last King of Scotland

Last night I enjoyed this provocative movie about the Uganda dictator Idi Amin's and his regime as seen by his personal physician during the 1970s. What I really came away with from this movie is how post-colonial Africa suffered from rulers that were ill-prepared for governing....and how bright-eyed Western young people came to this country ill-prepared for what a postcolonial type country is like...
I recommended it highly!
