Solomon has been taken from his family and
forced to work in the diamond fields. He finds a
rare pink diamond and hides it at great risk,
knowing if he is discovered, he will be killed
instantly.
But he also knows the diamond could provide the
means to save his wife and daughters from a life
as refugees and also help rescue his son, Dia,
from an even worse fate as a child soldier.
Archer, who has made his living trading diamonds
for arms, learns of Solomon's hidden stone while
in prison for smuggling. He knows a diamond like
this is a once-in-a-lifetime findvaluable enough
to be his ticket out of Africa and away from the
cycle of violence and corruption in which he has
been a willing player.
TASK 6: If you were a scriptwriter at Warner
Brothers, how would the story end? What do you
think is likely to happen to the characters
mentioned here? (Use the writing frame to help!)
