Despite his many commercially successful films, Schroeder continues to be interested in making smaller films with a more limited audience, such as the adaption of Colombian writer Fernando Vallejo's controversial novel La virgen de los sicarios (2000) or the documentary on Idi Amin Idi Amin Dada (1974).
