Without the King is a striking documentary that delves into the complex socio-political landscape of Swaziland, exploring the stark contrast between royal opulence and the struggles of the populace. The film presents a raw and unfiltered look at the high HIV prevalence, juxtaposed with the lavish lifestyle of Mswati III and his controversial heiress, Princess Sikhanyiso. The pacing feels contemplative, allowing viewers to absorb the weight of the issues at hand while the atmosphere is often heavy with discontent. It's fascinating to see the dichotomy of power and vulnerability, and the candid moments capture the unrest simmering beneath the surface. Not your typical doc; it’s more of a lens into a world that often goes unnoticed.
