    Hi.
    I saw the documentary those people are watching. It was about 10 years ago.
    How to find it now.

    I know it’s such a violent documentary, but It changed my life, forever.
    Thanks

    May peace prevail on earth, in Sierra Leone and everywhere.
    May Love bless our mind.
    May our love be the most important gift to each other, more than Diamonds, forever.

    Reminds me of a Section 8 housing project. Of course the women are about 300 lbs too light, gas guzzlers aren’t parked in the front yard and the buildings are too good of condition. Other than those minor differences you could substitute crack cocaine for diamonds and shoot this film in America.

  • Greeneyez2475:

    It was a colony started by freed slaves and the corrupt government (kept most of the $ for themselves) was in a war with a rebel group. The civil war was mainly over control of the diamond mines.
