The Last King of Scotland (2006) (original) (raw)

This is Idi Amin's incredible story as seen through the eyes of Nicholas Garrigan, a young Scotsman who
becomes the volatile leader's personal physician, due in part to Amin's unexpected passion for Scottish culture -
Amin even proclaims himself "The Last King of Scotland". Seduced by Amin's charisma and blinded by
decadence, Garrigan's dream life becomes a waking nightmare of betrayal and madness from which there is no
escape.
