Danny Archer's Blood Diamond
We’re located in Sierra Leone in northwestern Africa. The country is at war between a horrible government and an equally terrible rebel group named RUF. This group attacks a small village, here there’s no mercy if you're not a big working-man. The family father Solomon Vandy is taken and ends up as a slave in one of the country’s diamond mines. The diamonds that are dug up are usually the size of small beads, but one day, Solomon finds one that is much bigger than the usual diamond.

It's really an ordinary slave, that one day find a giant diamond and side effects around
