“There is freedom of speech, but I cannot guarantee freedom after speech” Idi Amin

This story loomed over my childhood into teen years in the seventies and I didn’t understand anything bc I’m from a disaster of a family, so I love listening to this and learning and understanding what it was all about back then. Now, I’ll study all of African leaders and history as much as possible.
-
my family is acholi and many of my family members were persecuted by idi amin during his reign, thank you for giving me some more insight into what they survived
-
I was a high school student n followed keenly the overthrow of Milton Obote by Idi Amin. During that era of the 70s through the late 80s Uganda under his eccentric rule used to be in the lime light. Hence my assessment of this documentary is that it is objectively authentic.

My wife is Ethiopian. She used to work at the Uganda Embassy in Addis Ababa. Idi Amin came there to visit and shook everybody's hands. He had huge hands, she said, but he was very polite and nice.

Wonderful exposition, Nigeria gained independence in the 1960 though not 1961. Much love from Nigeria. I have been binging the documentaries on your channel
-
This was great history. Please kindly make a documentary of the failed decolonization process of the Cameroons that led to war between the two Cameroons now for 6 years and counting. This subject is of interest to millions of people. Thanks
-
I love the way that you sum up the content of your videos towards their end. It really drives the knowledge home.
-
I learned, experienced and knows more about Idi Amin of Uganda, lot of things I didn't know and thank you deserves the most the ideal awesome documentary brought out here. 🙏🙂❤👌👌

Watching from Uganda this is so on point
-
I was in 4th grade (1976) when I first read about Idi Amin in MAD magazine. Being a born skeptic, I wanted to know if he was a real person past the parody. Yes he was and I'm glad the internet wasn't around back then. I'd be scarred for life!
-
I really liked ( although terrifying) the film , “ The Last King Of Scotland “. It’s not for the faint of heart. He was a completely sick and cruel man!! Another example of man’s misuse and self serving use of power!! The actor who portrayed him is Forest Whitaker. Excellent performance by him.😢💔🖤
-
Excellent documentary. My dad has a picture of him shaking hands with Amin (when a dictator as violent as him asks you to shake his hand, you shake his hand) sometime in the 70s. I was there in the late 90s and I visited/lived in many of the places mentioned here. Surreal hearing someone talking about it.
-
Quite insightful! A lot of important details & events that took place under Amin’s regime. This was a challenging time for Uganda.
-
My dad fled to the north during this time. I always wondered why he left so young. We are Buganda and upper middle class but if he left it must have been so bad
-
If you are doing more African Leaders. A profile on Thomas Sankara could be really interesting.
-
Kenyans were also not fans of Idi Amin because he also assassinated the Kenyan Minister of Agriculture at that time; Bruce Mackenzie. Kenya was also forced to host many of Uganda's Asians after they were expelled and his hostility to Kenyans in Uganda caused a lot of grief for people from Western Kenya, many of whom had family members in Uganda at the time.
-
I can not understand why on Earth people go off on a tangent about Hollywood movies depicting Amin, whether they be acceptable or farcical. Why not comment on the excellent, and true, commentary shown on this doco? Thank you for bringing it to us.
