If anyone hasn’t seen it yet, I highly recommend “The Last King of Scotland.”
“The Last King of Scotland” was pure fiction. Even the principal characters were only loosely based on real people. Every deed shown therein is made up. Especially the way the hero is sneaked out with the Entebbe hostages.
It got the mood of the times and the basic character of ol’ Idi about right. But all the specific misdeeds were fictituous.
