Introduction

Hindsight is a dramatized series based on historical events that resurrect some of the world's most memorable figures. In this episode we hear from Idi Amin, the butcher of Uganda. He escaped the ruin he created during his tyrannical rule by seeking political asylum abroad. For more than two decades until his death, Amin settled into a life of luxury in Saudi Arabia. The Saudis maintained his opulent lifestyle with a monthly allowance and all he had to do was keep quiet.
