An impressive movie about a continent in hope of enduring peace

Rating: 10/10 (3 February 2007)

Today we live in a world, in which not only those who are in war seek peace but also those who are in outwardly peace but inwardly in war.
What you get to see in this movie is on one hand the seek of peace and on the other hand the madness of human beings, who completely lost their humanity. Indeed the man has the potential to be better than angels, but he has also the same potential to be the lowest of the low! TIM = This is mankind...! You see also why hope should be the last thing one loses. It is naive and pure hope that keeps Solomon alive while the whole country burns to the ground. It is hope that drives Danny to help Solomon...
During the movie one asks the question: "Ok, the rich white guys want the diamonds and for that they sell weapons to both sides, so that the diamond-prizes stay low, but how and when did Africans become such monsters?" Maybe this is also the accomplishment of those who saw Africa and Africans as their God-given possession, with which and with whom they could do anything they wanted throughout the history...
A must see for all those people, who want to understand a little bit, why Africa is still the poor continent of this planet, although it has diamond, oil, gold etc...
