Fact or fiction

"The Last King of Scotland" is up for several Oscars --
including best actor for Forest Whitaker's portrayal of Idi
Amin -- and the charismatic, brutal former ruler of Uganda
who died in 2003 is in the news again.
The movie is based on the 1998 novel by Giles Foden, which
was named for one of the many grandiose titles Amin bestowed
upon himself.
But neither the book nor the film come close to illuminating
the horror of life in Uganda under Amin's reign, a Keizer
couple said.
"My problem is that people who read the book or see the film
may not be able to separate fact from fiction," said Jean
Sequeira, who, with her husband, Jack, served as a
missionary for the Seventh-Day Adventist Church in the
countryside near Kampala, Uganda, from 1965 to 1972.
