Rise and Fall of Idi Amin (1981)

Rise and Fall of Idi Amin, also known as Amin: The Rise and Fall,
is a 1981 biographical film directed by Sharad Patel and starring
Joseph Olita as Idi Amin.

The film details the controversial actions and atrocities of the
former dictator of Uganda, Idi Amin Dada, during his violent rise
to power in 1971 until his overthrow in 1979 as the result of the
Uganda–Tanzania War. The film was a co-production of the United
Kingdom, Kenya and Nigeria, with most of filming done in Kenya,
less than a year after Amin's downfall.

Despite being branded as an exploitation film, it is actually quite
accurate with the facts and dates of the events depicted, including
the Israeli raid, the war with Tanzania, and the capture and
imprisonment of British journalist Denis Hills (who portrays himself
in the film). It does, however, take certain liberties, especially
with the portrayal of Amin (such as being shown to be a cannibal,
reflecting a popular rumor). For the most part, the film accurately
portrays many real people, including Bob Astles, Amin's white advisor
and assistant.

When released to international audiences, including in the United
States, most of the voices were dubbed, due to poor sound production.
