It is said that diamonds are a girl’s best friend. They typically represent beauty and class. However, behind the scenes there is the smuggling of diamonds, which is turning into a very large problem that is anything but classy. In many places in Africa it is very typical for miners to look through the banks of rivers all day in hopes of finding a single diamond so that they can maybe feed their selves and their family. But what if they never find a diamond? Even though smuggling has dropped by 10% in the last year, it is suggested that this has only happened because larger diamonds are now being smuggled. With the new Blood Diamond coming out, this movie shows the controversy and dangers of smuggling diamonds out of Africa to be sold.
