Documentary

Director: Barbet Schroeder

Release Date: August 30, 1976

Where to Watch

I wish that Werner Herzog directed General Idi Amin Dada. Amin pretty much hijacked the film & controlled it except occasionally the director would reveal something disturbing in the narration. Even with Amin in control, he still could not help but reveal that he was all ego underneath a veneer of bonhomie–frequent meetings and being the center of attention at all events.
