The Oscar winning movie The Last King of Scotland, starring Forrest Whitaker and James McAvoy from Atonement, is NOT about Scotland

What?
Ok, one of the characters is Scottish, but for those of you who haven’t seen it, (and you seriously should) the movie actually takes place in Uganda during the military coup of Idi Amin in 1971. Amin held power for nearly a decade, forcibly removing Indians from the country and costing nearly 300,000 Ugandans their lives.

And this is on The Joyce blog because?
Uganda’s political situation is much more stable today, and the economy is growing but the country is still plagued with social problems, especially regarding the AIDS epidemic. SPIRIT OF UGANDA, a troupe of Ugandan children orphaned by the AIDS virus, who sing and dance to the traditional songs of Uganda will be performing at The Joyce in March. They are touring the US to spread the news about the AIDS crisis and civil war, as well as to serve as ambassadors to the 2.4 million orphans of Uganda.

What do I do now that I have this knowledge?

Rent the movie and buy a ticket. Uganda is really cool!
