This video was inspired by an article that I read on NationalGeographic.com. The soundtrack that I produced for this was inspired by Sade "Jezebel". Let's take a look into the Rough Diamond Trade in Africa.

  • THATS like the FUCKING middle east THE GOV IS THE FUCKING PROBLEM

  • OMG this is so hard to get across THE REBS AREN'T THE BAD GUYS! THE GOV IS! WHERE ELS ARE THEY GOING TO GET THERE money IF THE GOV DON'T GIVE THEM ANY! TELL ME THAT! THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE. A BLOOD diamonds IS A GUN THATS ALL ITS NOT A FIX FOR THAT CONTRAS PROBLIMS. ANY PEOPLE WHO WONT FIGHT A GOV THAT MAKES ITS PEOPLE ACT LIKE THAT IS A FUCK HEAD!  THINK ABOUT IT...

  • yeah, but friggin people are obsessed with them and dont give a flying fuck about what sgoing on, its sad

  • That will have an effect on the african countries not dealing in confict diamonds and therefore more problems so its better to know how exactly and were your diamonds came from..there are processes in place at this time and if they cannot provide the documentation,then the diamonds should NOT BE BOUGHT.

  • i think alot of the celebs today know what are the cost of their diamonds and try to match that cost with a monetary value. but it still doesn't equate.

    btw, this shouldn't be in the arts and animation category. it's more informative.

  • If someone wants a clean alternative, it's possible to get certified conflict-free diamonds from Canada that are tracked through their entire chain of custody to make sure that they aren't blood diamonds. Brilliant Earth (www.brilliantearth.com) is a company in San Francisco which sells only conflict-free / fair trade diamonds and recycled gold. They also donate money to communities in Africa which have been ravaged by the diamond industry.

  • If people still want diamonds, they should know that it's possible to get certified conflict-free diamonds from Canada which are also fair trade and tracked through their entire chain of custody. Brilliant Earth (www.brilliantearth.com) is a company in San Francisco which sells only conflict-free diamonds and recycled gold. They also donate money to the diamond communities in Africa ravaged by this terrible industry.

  • The fact is ppl get use to how they're living "now". If we take away cars, rice, fridges, tv's, ppl won't know how to live in the past. Society is going in one direction, when (and it will) go backwards, ppl will have a hard time adjusting to life, but its do-able.

    ppl should need to learn how to give up accessories. If Amererica had no water, and Africa did, then fuck it, i need my water. but this is not the case and like (nycgrl) said, "Just don't buy them PERIOD"

  • Didn't know bout the rice thing, crazy world we live in...

  • People, diamonds, oil, doesn't matter how we get it, or how we find it, humanity goes out the window for natural resources. China is getting out of hand with the abuse of their people and we're letting it happen cause we need rice.
