In the diamond-rich but impoverished nation of Sierra Leone, a 45-year-old miner named Mohamed Dabo spends his days searching for the elusive stones that could change his family's life. His story is part of a global industry that connects the desperate labor of African miners to the opulent world of high-end jewelry auctions in New York and the bustling diamond-cutting workshops of Surat, India. As the industry grapples with its ethical responsibilities, the film explores the stark contrast between the lives of those who extract the diamonds and those who wear them as symbols of love and status.
