Diamonds are forever... | True Story Documentary Channel

Boring deep into its subject, Diamond Road seeks to understand the multiple meanings of a precious stone that is as old as our planet. Every year, 24 tons of diamonds are teased from the heart of the earth. Once mined they begin a twelve-month journey through “the pipeline” – a vast, secretive network spanning five continents. By the end of the journey these tiny bits of carbon will have made a fortune for some and virtual slaves of others. Diamond Road reveals the contrasting impact that diamonds have on those involved in the trade: In Sierra Leone... an impoverished miner; in India... a child cutter and a prominent businessman; in New York... a celebrity jeweller and a high-end dealer. Their stories are interwoven with that of a diamond industry leader who fights for transparency and fair trade. Each character is on a journey to realize a dream that centres on a stone which is itself a dream – a manufactured symbol of love, purity and the sublime. The result is a multi-layered portrait of a fascinating world, steeped in a history of intrigue, conflict, love and hope.
