Dia’s school. Suddenly, there was a civil war and the R.U.F
had taken Solomon for mining a diamond. Solomon found
a big diamond and a smuggler named Danny Archer
heard about it and he wanted it. But, the R.U.F
Captain,Captain Poison, also wanted it. After escaping
from the war, Solomon joined with Danny to a journey
back to Sierra Leone. Meet Mandy Bower along the
journey, Danny realised that his life changed a lot.
Theme
It’s a story based on the diamond industry.
Opinion
I think this movie teaches us how countries like Sierra
Leone, use children as child soldiers and how some
diamonds companies use blood diamonds and asked
people to move away from that area. This movie also
shows how Solomon Vandy feels and how he cares about
his family. I really liked this movie because of the reasons
above.
Ratings
I will give this 8 out of 10.
