Blood diamond

This movie delivered a very punchy and provoking message about diamonds; how it has been used by rebels in Africa to fund their weapons purchase, how rebels exploit villagers to mine diamonds for them (apart from brutally killing them), the recruitment of child soldiers by rebel, how the price of diamonds been kept artificially high and the possibility of that diamond on the ring you are wearing now could be tainted with the blood of Africans. The ending is quite touching as well, like what Leonardo did in the Titanic movie. Apart from diamonds, the movie has also successfully portray the magnificent natural beauty of Africa. I'll rate this at 8/10.
