Everyone is crazy for diamonds. Solomon becomes one of the refugees and he needs to work for the rebels. His family is broken into parts. He has no idea where his son is and he tries hard to trace him. Somehow, Solomon finds a giant rough rock which is very valuable. However, it is the beginning of his nightmare. Solomon is sent to jail and Archer knows the existence of the giant rock. Afterwards, Archer gets Solomon out of the jail and they work together to get the diamond back and try to sell it on the black market. On the way they find the diamond, trust is built between them. By the end, Solomon can find his son. Archer gives the giant rock to Solomon and he dies on the hill alone.
Blood diamond is such a touching film. Besides showing how hard the Africans digging for the rock, the relationship between Archer and Solomon is also an important element in the movie. We can see conflict diamonds bring the Africans hard lives, destroying their family and also their lives. Before purchasing a lovely rock, I will ask the salesperson whether it is conflict diamond or not.
