I had no idea that so many diamonds were gained this way and now I don't think I can ever buy a diamond knowing what so many people have suffered for them...To me, it seems just as bad as wearing fur...except worse because people have lost thier lives instead of animals...

The Jews are at the end of this. lol

Interesting documentary. I sure wouldn't feel good wearing a piece of rock that has cost the life, or the arm, or a leg of a person (it would be just like wearing a persons leg, arm or other members). The law should encourage people to spit and to slap, other colorful action to anyone wearing more than 2 carats combined diamond. If you like so much the stone just buy some synthetic diamond, impossible to distinguish from a natural diamond unless you subject it to very rigorous analysis, the rest is just stupid Vanity. One good application is in the Industry, Industrial Diamonds don't have to be pretty to cut and polish. To clean the industry is very difficult if not impossible, because there is a lot of money and power behind the diamond Industry, and as everyone knows, politicians are willing to prostitute themselves in every country, including Sierra Leon, Canada and USA. the answer if to hold firm accountability and tough legal measures at all levels, otherwise just like the man from Antwerp was saying: up to 40% of the diamond are smuggled, specially if we have a dense population of greedy Jews that shame the rest of the Jews, just like Bernie Madoff did. One good question is: Who are making the big money? and attack that point.

I watched this awhile ago. Definitely an insight. The feature "Blood Diamond" is not that far off. But if one is to purchase a diamond it's up to them to ask the jeweler if the stone is "conflict free" If you are serious and have chosen a diamond ask to see the Certificate of Origin. Canadian Diamonds are laser engraved and come with a Certificate of Origin. If the jeweler you are visiting does not want to take the time or does not have that information on hand consider going somewhere else.

This documentary was very well filmed, it was so interesting when they went undercover to see what really goes behind the scenes of diamond trading. It is amazing to see hundreds of diamonds on one table. Very well done, I learned a lot in the last hour.Abigail

try the new lab made diamonds made here in US. they are basically the same just with difeerent composite that make them have a color range.The white ones are now even possible,even the belgium diamond experts cant distinguish them.I rather have them than think its a blood diamond.

I could sure use some diamonds right about now!!
Beautiful country.
I am diver....lol!!
