Learning on ScreenGeneral Idi Amin Dada (Autoportrait)
- Synopsis
- A rare chance to see the real Idi Amin in this extraordinary documentary made with the full support and participation of the dictator himself. Through his anti-Semitic rages, fetish for military power, and the aggression that drifts through almost every speech, this seemingly amiable, thoroughly pompous despot attempts to transform himself into a figure of heroic proportions. Director Barbet Schroeder lets Amin do all the work revealing a preening, vain, psychotic clown who aspires to be Africa’s Hitler.
