Sharad Patel

Sharad Patel is a producer and director whom the Daily Nation described in 2006 as a Kenyan filmmaker. He worked in the cinema in Kenya, where his son Raju was born, who in turn became a producer after studying at the London Film School and settling in California. At the beginning of the eighties he produced and directed the reconstruction of the reign of the Ugandan dictator, which the same newspaper called a worldwide success. Reached by telephone in London in 2006, he explained filmmakers' interest in Amin by the path of a disciplined soldier of the colonial army who became a tyrant.
