  May i ask a very stupid question? What does abortion have to do with people losing their lives over diamonds? I am sitting here trying to figure this out. Where does this comment factor into any of this? Sorry that was more than one question...

  My name is Sia, and i am from Sierra Leone. I know all too well the violence behind this stone, the blood shed for this stone and the many children who are turned into killing machines because of this stone. I moved to the US when i was very young. I am 29 and as long as God keeps me living and breathing on this earth, i will never own a diamond i don't care where it came from.

  There really are three reasons why diamonds will be regulated (and laser etched): 1)So the rich companies that control the market now can keep controling the market (by controling how many diamonds are added each year). 2)So the governments can get their taxes. 3)So gem quality 'man made' diamonds don't get accepted as equals (even though they may soon be even better than natural gems). Anyway...do you really think these people care about those getting killed in someones else's country? How do they treat their OWN people?

  This is brilliant! I have never owned a speck of diamond and I probably never will after watching this documentary. The day the diamond trade can be linked to terrorist groups, that's when the western world will do something decisive about it. Right now its only Africa and who cares?

  It may be woman's vanity that keep the market for diamonds going, but where does that "vanity", that need come from? Whose greed started, and continues, to fuel it? Who worked to devise an ad campaign so convincing (diamonds are a girl's best friend, diamonds are forever,proper movie placement etc.) constructing an ideal that lasted to this day (that if you love a woman, you will shower her with diamonds, the engagement ring)? MEN. The efforts of men spanning centuries.

  Fantastic Documentary. The issue goes way deeper than women's vanity. In addition, in the past and more so presently, men are wearing diamonds. Excellent work on this film.

  As I look at my engagement ring and wedding band, i wonder if someone lost a limb or a life, this price is too high for just a peeble. How can anyone help to stop this? What are purple Diamonds?
