no need for much research..the movie did a pretty good job of explaining. Subsititute Debeers for the company name used in the movie.

None of that stuff would happen if women didn't want diamonds to stick on their bodies. Unfortunately, not many of them know where the diamond they are wearing came from.

I saw that movie and found it exciting and well acted. Was it based on reality? I'm not expert enough to say.

Leonardo will likely be nominated for best actor, I would think.

Thank goodness my wife doesn't drool over diamonds.

Yes, it's based on reality. ALthough the story of the guy and his family is made up. But the whole conflict diamond trade is absolutely real.
