Idi Amin rose from a teenage recruit in the King’s African Rifles to the presidency of Uganda through a military coup in 1971. A national athlete, a popular army commander, a charismatic figure—and eventually a ruler whose eight-year regime became synonymous with torture, disappearances, ethnic expulsions and mass killings. This documentary traces Amin’s journey from sports hero to dictator, the foreign powers that backed him, the terror machine he built, the wars he ignited, and the dramatic collapse that forced him into exile. His rule ended more than four decades ago, but his shadow still shapes how the world remembers Uganda.
