Blood Diamond is set in the bedlam and civil war that enveloped in Sierra Leone back in the 1990s. It is the story of Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio), a South African mercenary, and Solomon Vandy (Djimon Hounsou), a Mende fisherman. Both of the men are African, but their histories and their situations are very dissimilar. This is until their destinies become connected in a dangerous mission to recover a rare pink diamond that can change their lives forever.

It looks to be a film that is based on real events of the past and will touch upon the true lives of the people in Africa who have to dig diamonds; the violence and corruption. With some great stars like Leonardo DiCaprio it should be a great, eye-welling film for nearly all the family and you can see the trailer here.

It is set to be released later this year and I think it will be a real hit. As long as it is not too cheesy I think it will be excellent.

Movie-Trailers Rating: 8.5 / 10 - A good, moving film based on real issues.
