Swaziland is Africa’s last remaining absolute monarchy. Its Royal Family lives a very lavish lifestyle, while much of the rest of the country lives in dire poverty and suffers from the world’s highest rate of HIV/AIDS. Michael Skolnik has directed a new documentary about Swaziland’s monarchy called “Without the King.” It opens April 25 at the Quad Cinema (34 W. 13th St.).
