Review:
If you like your quality exploitation fix based on facts this sickie might just do the trick. AMIN follow our friend Idi from the coup to his narrow escape in 1977. The show belongs to "actor" Joseph Olita who simple IS Amin, a rather childish & sick psychopath who mixes voodoo, rape, torture, harmonica, dancin' with his mentor, Adolf Hitler. Statements like; "I am the best lover of Africa", "I am greater than Mohammed Ali", "I lost my temper, I shot the archbishop, what do I do?" are simply HIGH CAMP TO THE MAX! Don't confuse this with the 1974 documentary by Barbet Schroeder.

About the author: Danish author of "Kitsch, Camp & John Waters" and punksinger of Hellroute 16.
