Blood Diamond

Sneaked into Blood Diamond just now. And, I have to say, I'll give it 5/5.

The movie shows how diamonds cause death. Thousands of people are killed for them. They even take children and make them into killers (child soldiers, which by the way, still exist in large numbers). They are forced to kill innocent people.

Is it worth it? One diamond you buy could cause the limbs of children, or even the lives of people, be it men, women or children.

It really gets you thinking.

When you want to buy a diamond ring for your loved one or whatever reason, a lot of lives are lost (unless they are non-conflict diamonds, which are not made/found illegally).

I know this is a short post but I can't really explain it with words. Just watch the movie and see for yourself.

Is it worth it?
