About
A young Scottish doctor moves to Uganda in the early 1970s and becomes personal physician to Idi Amin after the general seizes power.
In the early 1970s, Nicholas Garrigan (James McAvoy), a young Scottish doctor, leaves Edinburgh for Uganda, where he works at a missionary clinic run by David and Sarah Merrit (Adam Kotz and Gillian Anderson). He arrives as General Idi Amin (Forest Whitaker) seizes power from President Milton Obote. After Garrigan treats Amin's hand, the new leader discovers that the doctor is Scottish; Amin's fondness for Scotland leads him to ask Garrigan to become his personal physician. Garrigan accepts and is drawn into Amin's world, while the doctor's closeness to the president places him at the centre of the new regime.
