Blood Diamond

An ex-mercenary turned smuggler (Leonardo DiCaprio). A Mende fisherman (Djimon Hounsoue). Amid the explosive civil war overtaking 1999 Sierra Leone, these men join for two desperate missions: recovering a rare pink diamond of immense value and rescuing the fisherman's son conscripted as a child soldier into the brutal rebel forces ripping a swathe of torture and bloodshed across the alternatively beautiful and ravaged countryside. Directed by Edward Zwick (Glory, The Last Samurai), this urgent, intensely moving adventure shapes gripping human stories and heart-pounding action into a modern epic of profound impact.

Blood Diamond: David Harewood interview
- 17 Jul 2007

David Harewood: Well, I auditioned for Edward Zwick [the director] in London, he didn't tell me then that he has seen me on stage at the National Theatre, and had requested me. The part of Captain Poison was originally supposed to be a boy solider, but they couldn't find anyone with the weight they needed, and as the script kept changing,... Read more
