Directed by Michael Melamedoff
The UN’s largest peacekeeping force is suppressing a bloody civil war over the earth’s most precious stones. Layna Fisher, portraying over twenty characters, combines vivid storytelling with a surprising sense of humor as she explores Sierra Leone’s troubled past, uncertain future, and this shattered country’s impact on the war on terror. Fisher’s unique performance style brings a thrilling intimacy to the accounts of the soldiers, children, mothers, aid workers, rebels and journalists who have found themselves mired in the dirty business of the African diamond trade.
