	Idi Amin
		Idi Amin played such a role in the history of Uganda that even now after over twenty years since his departure, articles are being written about him and his evil influence.
		Amin was born in either 1924 or 1925 into the Muslim Kakwa tribe in Koboko in northwest Uganda, close to the borders of Zaire - now the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Sudan.
		Amin was thus a member of the ruling elite that moved into positions of power when independence was declared, first as a crony of Obote, who made him chief of the army and air force, and then as his sworn rival.

		Idi Amin did all those things I mentioned, but he used brutal methods to gain his power, throwing his former mentor out of office and out of his home, then offering a reward (dead or alive) on his head, but that was just the start.
		Amin was a calculating leader, but his emotions could overtake him with ease, though he always made sure to cover up his darker dealings, even if that meant countless murders.
		Amin guides through his land, shows off his military forces, and even gives us some insight into how he became the person he is, thanks to stories about his youth and rise to power.

		The filmmakers were very shrewd in their handling of Amin and realized that the ogre would only let them shoot the film as long as he himself was calling the shots, and so it was to be.
		Idi Amin remains alive and well, living as a guest of the Saudi government (like another ex leader rather closer to home) where he was exiled after his catastrophic regime was overthrown in the mid 70’s.
		Amin’s logic is staggering and only a genius on his own wavelength could even hope to follow the twisted train of thought and hallucinatory military strategies.

	DVD Savant Review: General Idi Amin Dada
		The appalling dictator Idi Amin of Uganda is shown up close and personal in a self-directed filmic portrait intended to spread his 'wisdom', but which instead reveals his megalomania and utter monstrousness.
		Amin is an ex-boxer, and in one of his infantile speeches talks about delivering a knock-out to his enemies.
		Amin tells his ministers that the local chiefs' main duty is to 'separate the good from the bad and denounce the bad', which conjures up visions of a country-wide witch-hunt where lower authorities are encouraged to turn over ever more citizens to be killed.

	The Criterion Collection: General Idi Amin Dada
		Unique even amidst this wildly eclectic filmography is Schroeder’s 1974 “self-portrait” of now-deposed Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, a tyrant who has been credited with the cold-blooded murder of upwards of 300,000 of his country’s citizens.
		Born in 1924 to the Kakwa tribe in Koboko, Uganda, Idi Amin joined the British colonial army in 1946, fighting in their war against the Mau Mau revolt in Kenya in the mid-1950s.
		Amin supported his country’s new Prime Minister Milton Obote, who appointed him chief of the army and air force.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: General Idi Amin Dada (A Self Portrait): The Criterion Collection (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In 1973 French director Barbet Schroeder convinced the enigmatic Ugandan dictator Idi Amin Dada to participate in a film project profiling his role as head of state of the struggling African country.
		This little episode tells more about Amin than anything within Schroeder's film, the content of which was wholly orchestrated and micromanaged by one of the most notorious dictators of the 20th century.
		Although there is brief footage of the carnage wrought at Amin's command, mostly the film is a showcase for his wide smile and hearty laugh, as the former heavyweight boxer leads the filmmakers (including cinematographer Nestor Almendros) through military exercises, native song and dance exhibitions, a few political meetings, and a nature tour.

		No doubt Amin was immensely pleased with the results, apparently incapable of realizing he had revealed to the entire world he was a brutal clown playing with the lives of his people.
		Amin rants about waiting to destroy Israel, shares his thoughts about Nixon and Kissinger, pays a visit to a village where his people can see their glorious leader, runs a war-game invasion of Israel, gives Ugandan physicians an inspirational speech, and screams at his cabinet members (including one who was murdered two weeks later).
		Idi Amin himself demanded that Schroeder remove particular scenes from the film under the threat of killing french citizens living in Uganda.

		Dada fled to Libya and then Saudi Arabia, where he resides today with his wife (one of four) and twenty-five of his fifty children.
		Over the course of 90 minutes, we see Uganda's army run a faux invasion of the "Golan Heights", Amin Dada lecture physicians about drunkeness and a meeting of Amin's cabinet where he blasts his foreign minister (who was executed soon after filming) for the negative portrayal of his regime in the world press.

		Amin's 1971 to 1979 reign in Uganda following a military coup was one of the bloodiest in Africa's modern history, and he has not been back to his country since he was ousted by joint forces of Tanzanian troops and Ugandan exiles on April 11, 1979.
