Messed up details in the Amin film having watched the late Amin film which has some powerful acting I was however disappointed with it's attention to detail or lack of it. I do not remember seeing guns on TV during the early years of Amins reigns. The scene with a choir singing with gun carrying bodyguards does not fit in memory. The song Kasongo being played before the Asians were expelled it came out around 1977 why didn't Moses Matovu correct this? They know the songs they played at Jajja Villas. Tusker size beer bottles? I was in primary school but I do not remember seeing those were they trying to forge the civic beer bottle? Army jeeps with UVS number plates.
