you should see the movie. i havent seen it, but hopefully its well done enough so that you can actually learn something about this conflict. the poor working conditions (but even in this aspect sweatshops are paradise to these diamond mines) is only 1 aspect of the the diamond conflict. Arms dealing, money laudering, coruption and lots lots more problems. In fact when you think about it diamond are ideal for money laundring... so much value in such a small package.
