Synopsis: Sierra Leone, 1999. The diamond trade finances a ravaging civil war. A poor man has his family torn apart from him; he is enslaved at the mines by the guerilla. A smuggler will ally with him in the quest for a huge diamond he found and buried.
Appraisal: Hyperconventional adventure which wears the "political awareness" disguise whenever it can. The shooting on location brings a marginal sense of authenticity to an otherwise overwhelmingly inauthentic melodrama.
