My reaction about the movie Blood Diamond


The movie blood diamond is a very interesting movie. It opened my eyes to new and different conflicts that happened in the world. I didn’t know that there is a kind of diamonds that called blood diamonds or conflict diamonds and this kind of diamonds were found by labour who were forced to mine for them. The film talks about a small family in a small village and one day the head of this family was separated from his family to work as a slave in the diamond fields. One day this guy found a large diamond. After that he tried to hide the diamond. Suddenly these fields were attacked by the government. But that guy survived and he was taken to the prison. After he got out from jail he went to look for his family. Later on he met a person called Archer he trades weapons with diamonds. Archer promised Solomon that he will help him to find his family if he told him where he hid the diamond. They started their journey and they met Bowen she was working as a reporter. Bowen wanted to help Solomon to find his family and she knew that Archer was using Solomon to get away from Africa. She refused to help Archer unless he can tell her about diamond market. Archer agreed to give Bowen the information then they flew to the place of the diamond. After they found the diamond, Archer was shot in his stomach and before he died and gave Solomon the diamond and told him to call Bowen as soon as he arrives. Then Solomon sold the diamond for a big amount of money and Bowen was taking pictures while Solomon was making the deal. Then the pictures were published in magazines under the title “Blood diamonds”.
