For any of those who are beginning the "conspiracy" theories that the filmmaker was paid or that this film was "edited" to make people say things that they actually didn't say -- I urge you to see the film first. Then we can all have a conversation about what is in the film. I think for those who are making erroneous statements on this bulletin will be quite surprised and embarrassed.

The film will be released in NY at the Quad Cinema on April 25th and on DVD on July 22nd!

If we will, as you say, be surprised and embarrassed for our comments once we view the film, then perhaps yourself and Mr. Mskolniksoze should redesign your trailer to more accurately represent the film's message. I have received numerous comments from my Swazi colleagues that Mr. Mskolniksoze misled the public as to the nature of this film, and took liberties with the actual facts on the ground. These reactions seem odd if the film is in fact aimed at promoting the Swazi people.

The same concept of eternal perpetuity existed in every kingdom and empire that has collapsed throughout time, the lesson is that nothing last forever especially when its foremost family resembles more an American reality show done in very bad taste than the dignified example they should be to one of the most beleaguered people of the world. Swaziland only needs to teach its royals the lessons of noblesse oblige and social duty to secure the survival of the crown.

We need a President with balls, like Ronald Reagan. What's going on in this country is nonsense. Pure and utter nonsense. The people live on 60 cents a day, and the king flies in a private jet?

I'm sorry, but if I lived in Swaziland, I would be forming a militia to overthrow that archaic way of governing.

We need Mitt Romney in 2012. People don't know who he is, but they will in 2012...

@orniepouille C'est cool ^^ I think that we should stop commenting on the video page since it has turned into something hors-sujet, lol !

[orniepouille]

@PreciousHime woww same here !

[PreciousHime]

@orniepouille No way?! I'm French Canadian too! Montréal ?

[orniepouille]

@PreciousHime lol i don't blame them... its soo wrong in the documentary they said some of his wives are younger than his oldest daughter o.O makes no sense to me... they need a democracy or if they rly love their king they can at least have a contitutional monarchy ( like us) I am french canadian so im not a big fan of the queen lol but at least we vote for the one that rules our country and we don't have the issues that they have in the end i think the king is money hungry and a dictator..

[PreciousHime]

@orniepouille Oh! I'm Canadian too. I check on Wikipedia the other day and now he has married 14 wives and has 20+ children. Also, 3 of his wifes cheated on him.

@PreciousHime yeah me too i just saw it on tv and i was like wtf... i dont know where u live but im guessing that you are from a western country. I am Canadian and I have a hard time believing that a king is still in power while 40% of the population is dying of aids he and his family are living a nice life while others suffer and the population has no voice i believe in democracy so its kinda hard to understand this way of life.. and the 12 wives dont make sense to me either O.o lol
