National Geographic explores the illicit trade of blood diamonds from the West African nation of Sierra Leone. The program examines how the country's rebels have used the precious gems to finance a violent ten-year insurrection, leaving a terrorized population and ravage landscape in its wake. Viewers will follow the trail of a conflict diamond, from the muddy pits of impoverished Sierra Leone, to the streets of Antwerp, Belgium, to their final stop in New York's finest jewelry stores.
