Trailer:

Synopsis: The Blood Diamond is set in Sierra Leone circa 1999, a time when the nation was in the midst of a horrific civil war. A smuggler who specializes in the sale of "blood diamonds," also known as "conflict diamonds" -- the precious stones used to finance rebellions, privateers and terrorists. When the smuggler encounters an indigenous Mende farmer whose young son has disappeared into the RUF's army of child soldiers, the two men's fates become linked.

Comment: Slightly less than $1 million for the rights.
