Trailer for Documentary

In an extraordinary twist of fate and because of his uncanny resemblance to Uday Saddam Hussein, Latif Yahia is forced to work as the "double or fiday" of the despots son. During his training, he witnesses the true evil of the man that he is forced to imitate and the brutality of the Iraqi regime at first hand. While attending state functions and royal audiences as his loathsome master, Latif ponders his escape strategy. Undeniably the life of wealth and excess is enticing but he is no more than a bird in a gilded cage. After several assassination attempts against Latif/Uday fail and during Gulf War 1, Latif makes his escape from his life of hell through the Northern Kurdish Territories, with the help of the CIA he is flown out of Iraq to a "New Life" in the West and this is where "The Black Hole" picks up his remarkable story.

60 Minutes doesn't have a record of having interviewed Latif Yahia. It looks pretty old too ... not sure.

Wow. What a story! My condolences to Mr. Latif on the death of his father. I have not posted anything about Saddam's execution as I feel it truly belongs to the Iraqi people. Now I know it does. This brave man has more right than any politician or TV talking head to say what is justice for Saddam. Whatever Mr. Latif feels today, I say that he has more than earned it.
