plot

• Blood Diamond, a movie directed by Edward Zwick, which focuses on the bad impacts of the local African people over the dispute between the Government and the rebels.• This movie follows the changing life of a common African man after

getting the diamond.• The movie also tries to depict the social affliction of child soldiers

Story Line

• Set against the backdrop of civil war and chaos in 1990's Sierra Leone, Blood Diamond is the story of Danny Archer - an ex mercenary from Zimbabwe - and Solomon Vandy - a Mende fisherman. • Both men are African, but their histories as different as any can be, until their fates

become joined in a common quest to recover a rare pink diamond that can transform their lives. • While in prison for smuggling, Archer learns that Solomon - who was taken from his

family and forced to work in the diamond fields - has found and hidden the extraordinary rough stone.• With the help of Maddy Bowen, an American journalist whose idealism is tempered

by a deepening connection with Archer, the two men embark on a trek through rebel territory, a journey that could save Solomon's family and give Archer the second chance he thought he would never have.

Conclusions

• Blood Diamond is a dramatization of one of the world’s worst human rights tragedies of the twenty-first century--the use of forced labour by rebels to extract diamonds in Sierra Leone in exchange for weapons.• Despite the Kimberly Process, which requires certification that

diamond sales have not been used to finance armed rebels, business tycoons continue to exploit poor nations and their people.• Every human being is entitled to his inalienable, or absolute, rights.

No government, situation, or people can take the rights from fellow men.

Conclusions … continue

• The lack of the government, presence of the RUF, or rebel groups, and even the intrusion of organizations such as UNICEF take away the citizens rights.• The rebels that attack citizens also greatly violate the right to

personal security. • Some children are under the age of 10 when they are forced to serve.• Children who are poor, displaced from their families, have limited

access to education, or live in a combat zone are more likely to be forcibly recruited.
