OMG!! The MUSIC!! And we've all been sold a bill (A DOOZIE of a bill) of goods.

Warning: Spoilers
When the guy who married into De Beers and now heads it, proselytizes about digging (blowing stuff up) in Botswana for "real" diamonds instead of buying synthetic because it does wonders for Botswana - the music is SO SAPPY, I almost turned diabetic. Give me a break. Seriously.

There's music throughout, and most of it is appropriate.

This documentary is a solid show and TELL. There should have been an uproar. That said, there should have been a uproar decades ago when Morley Safer went into the Russian vaults and showed the MASSIVE excess of diamonds that are stored in Russia.

The ending was Martin Rapaport spouting off. And Dusan Simic toddling off into the sunset like Charlie Chaplin, with us not knowing what he came up with in the laboratory.

Listen to Aja Raden - the woman knows what she's talking about. And she is telling us LOUD AND CLEAR ...... That the emperor has no clothes.
