THE BRUTAL ALL-ACTION MAJOR MOTION PICTURE!
BLACK 1971. Idi Amin seized power in Uganda on January 25th, 1971. During the following eight years, his reign of terror led to the death of half a million people and the near ruin of a nation. Through imprisonment, torture, murder and rape he drove his country into a state of terror and poverty, from which they-even now-have not yet recovered. 'Rise and Fall of Idi Amin' vividly depicts the life and times of a dictator- probably the most infamous since Hitler. From buffoon and 'friend' to some of the Western Powers-including Britain- Amin's rise was meteoric. Within two or three months of assuming power, Amin had built up his own terror army and secret police- the notorious State Research Bureau. He murdered most of the former Ugandan army, imprisoned and killed apposing intellectuals and students, abolished the freedom of speech and the press. 'Rise and fall of Idi Amin' follows these events until his decent into megalomania and madness and his final, inevitable confrontation with his fellow countrymen, the Western world, and importantly, the neighbouring Tanzanian forces.
