Documentary explores the lives of personal chefs who cooked for brutal dictators

"It goes back to Hannah Arendt's banality of evil a bit," says director Andrew Neel. "These everyday things that are beloved to us, like food, can take on an entirely different dimension within the context of a dictatorship."

"Kim Jong-il loved pepperoni pizza. Saddam Hussein couldn't resist a fish barbecue. Idi Amin reportedly had the capacity for an entire roasted goat."

"For history's most notorious strongmen, the dining table doubled as a stage for power. For the cooks who served them, every meal came with extraordinary stakes."
