Last King of Scotland, The

A powerful, Oscar-worthy, factually inspired thriller about an adventure-seeking, naïve Scottish doctor (James McAvoy) who escapes from his parents (David Ashton and Barbara Rafferty) to Uganda in 1970 at the height of Idi Amin's coup and is initially seduced and eventually trapped into being the personal physician and advisor to the charismatic, murderous, megalomaniac, dictator (Forest Whitaker) who was overthrown in 1979.
