The Last King of Scotland

Synopsis

"During an African medical mission in the 1970s, Scottish doctor Nicholas Garrigan (James McAvoy) impresses brutal Ugandan dictator Idi Amin (Forest Whitaker, in an Oscar- and Golden Globe-winning role) by acting swiftly in a crisis and becomes the dictator's personal physician. Garrigan enjoys the perks of his new position, until he begins to become aware of Amin's inhumanity -- and his own complicity." [Nefflix]
He is likable when the doctor first meets him. What happens that Idi Amin descends during his eight-year regime into corruption and violence?
