Documentary stories from unfamiliar cultures.

In the week of the 40th anniversary of the Coronation, this film serves as a reminder that it is no easy task being a monarch. Sultan Issa Maigari of Cameroon used to hold the power of life and death over his one million subjects. Now his authority is ebbing away. The government won't let him raise his own taxes, the peasants are rebelling, and the royal praise-singer (equivalent of the tabloid press) has betrayed him.
