Blood Diamonds is a television documentary series, originally broadcast on the History Channel, that looks into the trade of diamonds which fund rebellions and wars in many African nations.
The program focuses primarily on two nations: Sierra Leone and Angola.
As with many History Channel specials, its original airdate coincides with a mainstream period film, in this case, Blood Diamond (2006).
The producer of the documentary was Bill Brummel.
The episode follows typical documentary format, hopping from topic to topic between commercial breaks.
