well they went to sierra leone and visited the towns(which are very poor), the diamond minds, and victims of war. sierra leone had a civil war which ended in 2001 or something like that and in africa war is serious(7 year old kids in the armies). they also had a sierra leone native who got out and was visiting for the first time since he was in the army fighting in the war.

i thought production of the documentary could have been better but the actual shooting of it was good.
