Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })General Idi Amin Dada: A Self-Portrait (French title: Général Idi Amin Dada: Autoportrait) is a 1974 documentary about the infamous Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, whose reign from 1971 to 1979 led to the death of hundred of thousands of Ugandans. Often considered one of the more bizarre dictators of the world, Amin was seen as a curiosity within the then-normal binary of capitalist and communist nations, being not quite pro-capitalist and not quite pro-communist.At first glance, this documentary doesn't seem all that special, given how plenty of other documentaries have covered Amin’s reign of terror, and with more in-depth coverage of the situation than this one. However, this one has a twist: Not only was it filmed in Uganda during the time of Amin’s rule, but it was fully approved by Amin himself. In fact, most of the film is spent focusing on the General, following him around at affairs both personal and public as he gives his world views on the various African and world powers. This access allowed the documentary to get up close and personal to Amin, who emerges as quite an... interesting individual.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Affably Evil: The documentary paints Amin as this. The General never comes off as disrespectful to anyone and is polite even when criticizing some of his ministers. Whether this is what's Beneath the Mask or merely a part of a Faux Affably Evil persona can not be fully determined. | |

Accidental Misnaming | |
| General Idi Amin Dada: A Self-Portrait / int_af616e40 | comment |
Accidental Misnaming: During the conference with the doctors, one of the doctors accidentally calls the leader of his medical organization "the President"; under Amin's rule, only he could be referred to as such. Though the doctor corrects himself and Amin seemingly laughs it off, Amin's expression seems to suggest the slip of the tongue may have been more damaging to him than he let on. | |

The '70s: The film was made in 1974, which becomes more noticeable with the mentioning of the Watergate Scandal and the Munich Massacre of 1972. | |
