You're watching UNICEF Television. 00:00:00
Girls like diamonds. 00:00:07
Boys like diamonds. 00:00:09
This guy really likes diamonds. 00:00:11
What if they all knew where their diamonds came from? 00:00:16
That was the question the documentary Bling! A Planet Rock sought to ask. 00:00:19
He's got to have it. 00:00:25
Bling! 00:00:27
The pimp style, the blast style. 00:00:28
Whatever your reward is, is your reward. 00:00:30
It's in us to want to shine. 00:00:32
It's not all that bleaches is gold. 00:00:34
A lot of people lost lives, families, lost hands, limbs. 00:00:36
People lost their lives. We didn't know that. 00:00:40
So we begin here in Africa with the all too familiar theme of civil war. 00:00:42
Bling! is a 90-minute documentary film following the relationship between blood diamonds and poverty 00:00:46
and the influence of hip-hop music on global culture. 00:00:52
It's just ironic that what made black people feel so empowered 00:00:56
was completely demoralizing and destroying other black people. 00:01:00
The film follows hip-hop artist Paul Wall, Raekwon from the rap group the Wu-Tang Clan, 00:01:07
and Latin hip-hop king Tego Calderon to Sierra Leone, 00:01:13
a country still recovering from a decade of civil war. 00:01:18
They visited diamond mines, refugee and amputee camps, 00:01:22
and met with children who were victims of the war. 00:01:26
The way I grew up is like growing up with a silver spoon in my mouth compared to this. 00:01:30
You know what I'm saying? I grew up rough. 00:01:35
Each of them was touched, but in a different way. 00:01:37
And they express it in a different way. 00:01:39
And that's what it was the purpose of the trip. 00:01:42
The diamond trade that once tore Sierra Leone apart 00:01:48
has the potential to help it recover economically. 00:01:51
If anybody can teach them, provide them an opportunity to cut the diamond, polish the diamond, 00:01:54
and mold a diamond into something of value more than just a shiny piece of rock on the ground, 00:01:59
then they can, you know what I'm saying, restore the whole nation. 00:02:03
Promoting conscious consumerism and diamonds for development, 00:02:07
Bling! harnesses the power and influence of hip-hop for greater good. 00:02:11
This is Amy Bennett, reporting for UNICEF Television. 00:02:17
