Video on Sierra Leon's Blood Diamonds

I found this National Geographic special on Hulu. It addresses the controversial conflict diamond trade out of Africa. I think it does a great job showing the relationship between political and economic issues. It's called "Diamonds of War: Africa's Blood Diamonds". Check it out if you have time. http://www.hulu.com/watch/70093/national-geographic-specials-diamonds-of-war-africas-blood-diamond#s-p2-sr-i0

    Thanks for posting this Porter. I thought it was really well filmed. It did, however, display a tremendous amount of economic ignorance. I really got me thinking about the role that diamonds will play in Sierra Leone's development. This would be something worth discussing with the class in my opinion.
