In the second instalment of Diamond Road we travel to New York, South Africa and Sierra Leone, all places along the diamond pipeline that have been marked by the dark and the light of diamond history. In South Africa, the birthplace of the modern day diamond story, we meet Maria Farmer and Willem Diergaardt who are fighting to reclaim their land and the diamonds that sit on top of it. This is the new South Africa, emerging from the shadows of apartheid, rewriting the wrongs of the past, in which diamonds divided the haves from the have-nots, Black from White. We enter the world of Christies auction house in New York City where we meet Jacob Zupnick and Andy Cohen, two Jewish dealers who have a connection to diamonds that is part of a rich history that saw many Jews escape war and oppression with a tiny cache of diamonds, their secret passport to a new life. In Sierra Leone we meet two smugglers who were part of the illicit trade in rough diamonds that fuelled a brutal eleven-year civil war. We journey with Martin Rapaport an industry leader to this devastated country while he begins his crusade to have fair wages for Sierra Leones exploited diamond miners.
