This series of programme scrutinises some of the most infamous figures in world history and the lives they led.

This is a fairly short but surprisingly informative and well presented programme on Idi Amin. It contains some illuminating archive footage and interviews with those who personally knew the man as well as those who suffered under his regime in Uganda. Might interest those who saw the recent "The Last King of Scotland" film too.
Warning - it does contain some graphic photos of a brutal nature.

A documentary cycle will tell about the villains rulers, the people in the majority of cases оставиших after themselves only bad memories, such as the leader of nazi Germany of Adolf Hitler, the soviet leader Joseph Stalin, the roman emperor Nero, the president of Uganda, Idi Amin, the governor of Cambodia Pol Pot and Spanish inquisitor Torquemada. Scientists will analyze the biography of each of them and try to find out the reasons of their "crimes".

See how Idi Amin used lessons learned in the colonial British army to build a powerful dictatorship in Uganda. Through a combination of populist charm and brutal violence, he ruled for eight years – until his strategic blunders brought him down.
