Is the Devils Double True

It’s terribly difficult to resist the premise of The Devil’s Double: The film is based on the true story of Latif Yahia, an Iraqi soldier conscripted into working as the fiday, or body double, for Uday Hussein, Saddam Hussein’s eldest son.

What does it say at the end of the devil's double?

The film ends by stating that Latif has been a very difficult man to find after these events. [In truth, Latif is readily available to give interviews from his new home in Ireland.] Uday was permanently handicapped by the attack but survived until his killing by U.S. forces in 2003.

Was Uday Hussein crippled?

In fact, he discovered later, Uday had been hit 17 times but survived. He was crippled for the rest of his life, and – according to popular belief – rendered impotent (a special kind of justice, Sharif said, because of the elder Hussein son’s reputation for brutal womanizing), but he lived.
