In August 1972, Uganda’s president, Idi Amin, shocked the world by ordering all 80,000 Asian citizens out of his country. The dictator gave them just 90 days to get out at a time when many were under threat of rape, torture and even murder. People lost their homes, their businesses and their family fortunes in their rush to leave Uganda.
In Return to Uganda Farrah Esmail goes back to find her parents birth place in Uganda’s capital city, Kampala. She finds their old family home, tries to understand why the expulsion took place and what it has meant to Uganda. And then, she talks to the son of the man who expelled her parents, a man some say may even be president himself one day, Taban Amin.
