Noriega: God's Favorite (2000)

Everybody, even nasty, pineapple-faced South American tyrants, deserves to be the apple of somebody’s eye. But what human on earth could look with benevolence upon Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega? A vegetarian and voodoo practitioner who kept a statue of the Virgin Mary adjacent to a photo of Adolf Hitler in his office, Noriega behaved as creepily as he looked. Only the Good Lord above is sufficiently benign to gaze upon such a monster with affection, which explains the title of the Showtime network’s biography of the murderous, drug-dealing super villain--Noriega: God’s Favorite (2000).
