00:00This story is set in 1999 in Sierra Leone, Africa, where there is a civil war over control of the diamonds.
00:08And it begins with Solomon Bundy, who is at home with his family in a village.
00:13While his son goes to school, he goes to work as a fisherman.
00:18On one of those days, when both had finished their duties, they were heading home,
00:22when suddenly some F.U.R. thugs arrived to wipe out the people in the village.
00:28Solomon hid his son and went to save his wife and daughter.
00:32And although he managed to save them, he was captured and separated.
00:36They were about to cut off his hand, but since he is strong, Captain Poison, who is the leader of the F.U.R.,
00:43decides to keep him to work as a slave in the mines collecting diamonds for them.
00:48There he is, overworked, doing the same as the other slaves.
00:53And what happens if someone tries to act smart and steal a diamond?
00:57Now we meet Leonardo DiCaprio, who plays Danny Archer, a smuggler of both diamonds and weapons,
01:04who trades weapons for diamonds with none other than the F.U.R. guys.
01:08And from there, he goes to Liberia, hiding the diamonds inside goats so he won't get caught.
01:14But the soldiers, who already know that trick, searched and arrested him.
01:18Now we go back to Solomon, who kept working when, in the middle of the rocks, he finds a very large pink-colored diamond.
01:40And taking advantage of an escape, he hides it in his foot and leaves to hide it.
01:46But Poison saw him and was about to kill him when, suddenly, the soldiers arrived and began killing everyone there.
01:52And those who survived, including him, were taken to prison, where Danny and Captain Poison had also been taken.
02:00And Poison recognizes him and tells all the prisoners that he has a very large diamond and will give a thousand dollars to whoever takes it from him.
02:09Danny heard this and considered he could take advantage of it.
02:12They take him out of prison, and he tells the person who freed him to also get Solomon out, since he lost the diamonds and needs that one to recover the money.
02:21Then Danny goes to see Matt, a friend who does him some favors and also reports on the movements of the F.U.R.,
02:27and this is where he meets Matty, an American journalist, who at first wanted to get information about Sunray's diamonds
02:34and about the process they go through to reach the market, in order to expose the secrets of the companies that sell them.
02:41But obviously, Danny refuses to say anything and leaves.
02:45The next day, he goes to see Cordell, a military colleague sent by Colonel Coetzee to recover the money he lost when the diamonds were taken from him,
02:53and here, Danny very kindly told him he was going to pay him back.
02:56From there, we move on to Solomon, who is looking for his family in the refugee lists held by the government.
03:02But since they're not there, he goes to those who have control over the names to tell them his family members aren't listed,
03:08to which they reply that he has to fill out the paperwork, and Solomon responds that he already did.
03:13Then we go to his family, who were in a village along with others hiding,
03:17but then the R.U.F. showed up and took all the young people, including Solomon's son.
03:22Now, we move on to Danny, who went to South Africa to talk to the colonel.
03:26There, they talk about the past, and we find out that the colonel was the one who protected him since he was young
03:31and taught him everything he knows about diamonds and how to negotiate with them,
03:35but now he is trying to make his own life and his own money.
03:39He also tells him that he lost the diamonds.
03:42The colonel might care about him, but he still owes him,
03:45and somehow he discovered the existence of the pink diamond and told him that with it, he can pay him back.
03:50Danny tells him that if he already had the diamond, he would have left the continent,
03:54so the colonel grabs his hand and tells him that the earth is red,
03:57referring to a local belief among the Shona people that the color comes from the bloodshed fighting for the land
04:03and that he will never abandon Africa.
04:06After that, he goes to see Solomon to tell him he knows about the diamond and that he wants it,
04:11but Solomon denies knowing anything about it and goes to work.
04:14Then we move on to Dia, Solomon's son, who is with the other young people.
04:18There, the R.U.F. begins to manipulate them into joining their cause,
04:22saying they are the heroes who will save the nation, but their childhood is over,
04:26and they are also forced to take others' lives.
04:29Although it's not shown, his face reflects all the horror he's experienced.
04:33That night, Danny goes to see Matt, who gives him a weapon and tells him the R.U.F. will arrive soon,
04:39and there they meet up with Maddie again and start dancing,
04:41where she once again tries to get information out of him.
04:44He tries to change the subject, but since she keeps insisting, he goes for a drink.
04:48She followed him and told him that she also sells diamonds in Rentos,
04:51and she asked him how that was possible.
04:54The next day, she goes to see Solomon to tell him about the diamond,
04:57but he resists saying where it is, so Danny tells him he will help him find his family
05:02if he gives him the location of the diamond.
05:04But at that moment, the F.U.R. arrived and a massacre begins.
05:09The soldiers were also there to stop them since they knew an attack from them was coming,
05:13so in the city center, they started fighting even with civilians in the middle.
05:17Still, the soldiers' forces were far inferior to the F.U.R.'s, both in number and weapons,
05:22as the F.U.R. even had bazookas.
05:25Danny and Solomon get into a house and see how the soldiers surrendered, and then they were wiped out.
05:31They wait until nightfall to escape and see all the chaos and destruction caused in the city.
05:36They go to a bridge that is guarded by the F.U.R., and Danny pretends to be a hostage,
05:41and since one of them escaped, he had to hunt him.
05:43From there, they go to a refugee camp where they meet with Maddie,
05:47and he tells her that he will help her by giving her information, with proof, for her investigation,
05:52but first he needs her to help Solomon find his family.
05:56Up to this point, Maddie doesn't know anything about the diamond,
05:59but she knows something is wrong, so she investigates and goes to a refugee camp in Guinea.
06:05She takes the opportunity to take some photos while waiting for the family,
06:09but only the wife and daughter arrived.
06:11So the desperate man asks where his son is, and as he got desperate and went crazy,
06:15the soldiers beat him and took him away.
06:17So they leave, but without his family, since they are not allowed to take them out of the camps.
06:23They take a break in a village, and Danny asks Maddie to help them get to Consono,
06:27with the help of the press convoy.
06:29And although at first she refuses, Danny tells her how the Rentos diamonds end up being sold all over the world legally.
06:35He passes the diamonds across the border, his buyers pass them through an intermediary,
06:41and he bribes customs, and that's how they certify that the diamonds come from Iberia.
06:46From there, they go to other buyers where the diamonds are examined,
06:49and then taken to India, where the dirty diamonds are mixed with those from all over the world,
06:53and become just like any other diamond.
06:55From there they go to London, where the Vandicap Company is,
06:59which is the one in charge of selling the diamonds to the public.
07:02And yes, they know that some of their diamonds come from illegal sources.
07:05He gives her his notebook with the evidence for her investigation,
07:08names, accounts and dates, and with that he helps her by taking them as journalists.
07:13They cross a bridge, Maddie and Danny exchange some looks and run into an attack by the FUR,
07:17they start taking photos, when suddenly they are attacked so they have to flee.
07:21Then we go to the leader of the FUR and the young people, where we see they have already
07:25been manipulated again. We return to the protagonists, where in the middle of the
07:29road a truck explodes and the person driving them gets shot, so Danny takes the wheel and
07:34they flee again, this time into the jungle. They walk there all day and all night until
07:38they meet the Camajo, who are a militia that protects civilians. And they were about to kill
07:43them, but the one who played the hero this time was Maddie, who makes them her friends
07:47and even takes pictures of them. From there they are taken to a man who has a
07:50shelter for young people who have suffered at the hands of the FUR, they tell stories,
07:55sing, drink beer, play soccer, and have a relatively happy life. The next day they head to Kono,
08:00but on the way they encounter some young members of the FUR, and the man tries to talk to them,
08:05but ends up getting shot, so they flee again, until they finally reach the military base in
08:09Kono, and take the man to try to help him recover. There Danny meets Cordell, and is told
08:14that they are evacuating all civilians without exception, meaning Maddie has to leave.
08:18Then, he takes him to Colonel Kotze, who tells him he will take him to where the diamond is so he can
08:23hand it over. So he plans to escape, but before that he talks to Maddie so she can do him the
08:28favor of distracting a soldier while he gathers supplies for the trip. He also gives her the
08:32notebook with the evidence, and even though they've only known each other for a few days,
08:36and he only used her as a means to get to the diamond, they developed a romantic bond during the
08:40journey. He goes to the tents to take the supplies while she goes to distract the soldier.
08:44After that she takes a photo of him and gives him her number to contact her, and then she gets on
08:49the plane. Now they head into the jungle in search of the diamond and Solomon's son. They walk all day,
08:54all afternoon and all night, and this is where he meets with the RUR and Solomon. Upon seeing some
09:00young men, he mistook his for another and called him, and since it wasn't him, they began to chase
09:06them. They run and run until they hide in some branches, and stay there until the next day.
09:11Danny wakes Solomon and tells him that, when he was young, he had a friend with whom he used to hunt
09:15animals in the jungle, and that baboons were the hardest to hunt because they were clever,
09:20fast, and strong. But they would find them by the smell of their dung, and he tells him that,
09:25without skin, baboon meat is no different from a man's. After eating the baboon, they continued on
09:31their way. They pass through a village destroyed by the RUR, and then have a fight because Solomon
09:36wants to go to the camp for his son, while Danny only wants to go for the diamond. His father must
09:41protect him well, so with that, they wait until nightfall to enter the camp, and seeing nothing,
09:47they leave and continue on their route. And during all that time together, they start forming a
09:52friendship. They walk and walk until they finally arrive at the camp where the diamond is, and to
09:58create a distraction and be able to enter. Danny sends an airstrike that will arrive the next day,
10:03and asks Solomon not to move. But at night, he left to look for his son. He goes in, and after
10:09seeing everyone who was there, he found him and took him. But the young man was already corrupted,
10:14and they captured him. So the next day, they made him dig to take out the diamond, but he refused.
10:19So Captain Poison threatened him, I will find the rest of your family just like I found your son.
10:24And he was about to do it, but at that moment the airstrike arrived, practically wiping out everyone,
10:29even those who were just working as slaves. And then Solomon took advantage of that to attack,
10:34and finally finished Poison off. And we also see that his son still has innocence, because
10:39while the others were attacking with their weapons, he just covered himself and ran away.
10:45After finishing off most of those who were there, now they speak with the colonel,
10:49and he asks for the diamond. Only that he doesn't know where it is, and since Solomon didn't want to
10:54say anything. Danny betrays him, and handed his son over to the colonel so that Solomon would obey.
11:01Danny seemed like a traitor, but he had a plan, so with that he agrees to say where it is.
11:06He takes them to where he buried the diamond, and there Danny, who in the end didn't betray him,
11:11but wanted to deceive the others, begins to attack and take down each of them until he finishes with
11:17the colonel. And it seemed like everything had gone well, until Danny felt something. He checks
11:22himself, and realizes he was shot. And to make things worse, Solomon's son was pointing a gun at
11:29him. But his father talked to him, and thanks to those emotional words, his son came to his senses.
11:36The family moment was interrupted by a new danger, because other soldiers arrived to finish them off.
11:41He calls his friend with the small plane to meet them on a hill, and from there they escape.
11:46They climb and climb to the top, but Danny couldn't go on anymore, so Solomon tried to carry him,
11:52but Danny simply couldn't take it. So with great pain, he gives the diamond to Solomon.
11:58I thought you were going to betray me, and I considered it, I admit it, Danny says, telling him
12:04to call Maddy when he gets to Guinea. And although Solomon again offered to carry him, Danny already knew
12:10his fate. They fled while he sacrificed himself to stop the soldiers chasing them, and he also
12:16calls Maddy to ask her to help Solomon sell the diamond and give him protection. He watches them
12:22leave, and only says goodbye to her. At that moment, he remembered what the colonel said about the red
12:27earth. The Shona say that color is from all the bodily fluids that have been spilled fighting for the
12:33land. This is your home. In the end, those words were true. And after that, Danny dies.
12:41Days later, Solomon meets with Maddy in London, and from there he meets with the assistant from
12:47Bandicat, the company that supposedly doesn't sell blood diamonds, and he was going to give him 2
12:52million pounds for the diamond. But Solomon also asked for his family. They leave, and days later,
12:58they call him. They take him to an airport, and he finally reunites with his family. What the man
13:04didn't know was that Maddy was taking pictures to publish them and expose them for buying illegal
13:09diamonds. It all ends with the company Bandicat being exposed and stained as corrupt, and with
13:15Solomon presenting himself to the world as a witness to talk about everything that is lived there.
13:20That's how this story ends.
