good representation

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2007)

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I wrote a paper on conflict diamonds when I was in college, so I was very interested to see how the problem was portrayed in this movie. Years ago diamonds were used to fund rebel armies that were incredibly brutal in their treatment of their fellow countrymen. Solomon Vandy makes a very good point when he says, "how can they do this to their own people?" Today it is possible to get a certification of exactly where a diamond was mined, and all the channels it went through before it became a piece of jewelry. If this movie makes you nervous about where your diamond came from, it is possible for you to find out, and I highly recommend it. I also highly recommend seeing this movie!!
