a lesson in life..

Rating: 9/10 (4 April 2007)

The cinematic craft at it's best. In a dramatic depiction of realistic events, describing the dangerous fields of enslaved child labour, in the African diamond industry. We see great performances from a talented cast, performing with intensity and dedication. I was never bored, yet appalled by the gruesome reality of this historically portrayed environment. As a dramatic piece, I was truly entertained. it was at times, like being on a roller coaster flying thru the amazing natural environments of the African continent. The accurately portrayed scenographics and cinematography was in addition to the well written story line, a truly entertaining experience. I would have preferred to have seen this on a big screen.
