Plight of Asians overlooked
The plight of Ugandan Asians was overlooked in this film and continues to be overlooked. In an exodus that rivalled many of today's conflicts entire generations of Asians were forced to flee Uganda and subjected to similar atrocities that the domestic population suffered. It is disquieting to find that in this century Amin's exploits have attained legendary status among the lost and misguided youth of Ugandan-origin. Don't immortalise the evil that was this man, he is in the fine company of the world's most evil dictators and it is there he deserves to remain.
