Uganda is a developing country with a growing economy. Yet it struggles against a widespread belief in spirits and superstition - as demonstrated by the alarming rise in incidents of child sacrifice.
Iconic species are not the only remnants of Ugandan heritage threatened with extinction. The forests hold one of the last populations of mountain gorillas, but are also the home of 6000 pygmies. New foreign-funded legislation is evicting the pygmies from the forest in favour of gorilla conservation, but the people of this unique culture are reluctant to lose their heritage.

In 2005, Idi Amin returned to Uganda in the form of actor Forest Whitaker, who's starring in the movie 'The Last King of Scotland'. The film is a thriller set in Amin's Uganda and tells the story of a fictional Scottish doctor who becomes the dictator's closest advisor. But making a movie about such a controversial figure raises a number of questions. Is it possible to separate the real Idi Amin …
As the tribes are moved out, and the gorillas move in, tensions begin to rise in the Ugandan mountains. Recent murders of eight foreigners may cripple tourism.
