Bling: A Planet Rock

From Florida a plane sets out for Sierra Leone, a country ravaged by a war about diamonds. On board we find some renowned hip hop artists who will soon discover the gruesome consequences of the history of diamonds. This is what makes the poor man angry. He refuses to be seen like this, betrayed by his own country. He wants a new future, he wants to be heard.

Bling: A Planet Rock focuses on the complex exploitation of this glittering resource, along the lines of the Kanye West song "Diamonds from Sierra Leone" and the movie Blood Diamond. Why do hip hop musicians adorn themselves with diamonds, considering the enormous dilemmas connected with this stone? baa
