[@cyrug4021]

Uganda was only a protectorate not a colony, The British government ruled Uganda indirectly through sharing powers with the local leadership like Kabaka (King) of Buganda kingdom. It's the 1900 Buganda agreement that sealed an alliance between the two countries. So the locals were directly ruled by their own kings and chiefs, and the latter were accountable by the British government. That's why Ugandans didn't form rebellious groups to fight for their freedom or independence. It was done diplomatically on request.

[@alexanderlawson1649]

Lots of Asians in this film who would be expelled by Amin, later. I remember in the 70's, when I was a kid, here in UK, all the shops shut at 5 in the eve and on a Sunday they only opened for a couple of hours to sell the newspapers. When Asian shopkeepers moved in during this time, shops began to open 24/7, these people revolutionised retailing in this country and gave us the service that we expect as normal today. Young people today dont know how bad it was back then, when everything shut down at 5 in the evening, you could not get anything. The Asian shopkeepers were a revolution and they still are.
