This is a truly excellent film which is entertaining, well-filmed and has a strong message to it. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to see a truly qualitative movie. Definitely the best film in the box office at present.
Did Someone Die for That Diamond?
Some diamonds have helped fund devastating civil wars in Africa, destroying the lives of millions. Conflict diamonds are those sold in order to fund armed conflict and civil war. Profits from the trade in conflict diamonds, worth billions of dollars, were used by warlords and rebels to buy arms during the devastating wars in Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Sierra Leone. Wars that have cost an estimated 3.7 million lives.
This film accurately portrays the situation in Sierra Leone with diamond miners being abused and forced to work for warlords. Leonardo Di Caprio and Jenifer Conolly produce excellent performances. A must see.
