Just watched, Without the King, about the Africa's last monarch, King Mswati III of Swaziland. I was excited for the subject matter, but the movie itself was nothing special. Highlighted and repeated same points for an hour and a half. King Mswati has an exorbitant amount of wealth in a nation that has the highest AIDS prevalence rate in the world and where the majority of people live in extreme poverty. Film contrasted this poverty with Mswati's fleet of luxury cars, and the high AIDS rate with Mswati's 13 wives (poor tone to set when your AIDS prevention policy is abstinence). Sad stuff.
