In this episode Truth talks with Nate Homan,  author of “Diamonds and Blood : An Infamous West African Warlord's Bay State Jailbreak.”  Nate is a south Shore-born punk rock amateur boxer who graduated from Emerson College and has written for the Boston Phoenix, Metro Boston/NYC/ Philly, Front Page Detectives, DigBoston, and the Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism. The two discuss the plight of Charles Taylor – and his rise from college campus radical to mass-murdering megalomaniac.   This began the night he slipped out of the Plymouth House of Correction in Plymouth, MA and made his way across the Atlantic Ocean to his homeland of Liberia, and he led a brutal coup d'etat in 1989. In 1991, Charles Taylor bankrolled a ruthless rebel army in Sierra Leone known for the abundance of child soldiers who hacked the arms off of enemies and innocent civilians alike. By conquering the mountains along the Liberian border, Charles Taylor hijacked the international diamond trade for nearly 15 years. After a bogus election in 1997, Charles Taylor became the 21st Commander in Chief of theRepublic of Liberia.  Perched on a throne of blood, Charles Taylor stacked fortunes in Swiss bank accounts. He broke bread with world leaders, Fortune 500 executives, mercenaries, mass murderers, gem trading jihadis, and big time American televangelists. At the end of his reign, Charles Taylor was convicted of international war crimes in 2012.   For more info: IG: @natehomanboston WEB: https://binj.news/2024/01/07/an-infamous-west-african-warlords-bay-state-jailbreak-2/   As always, please hit the subscribe button if you like and support what we do!

"I lost the fight, I didn't lose the journey." Themba Gorimbo UFC Fighter As we wrap up 2024, we have a conversation with a young athlete who has defied the odds in every aspect of life, endured unimaginable challenges and is now sharing his extraordinary journey with Ryan, Channing and Fred on this episode of The Pivot Podcast. Themba Gorimbo, is coming off a devastating loss in UFC 310 to Vincente Luque and shares how the past couple weeks he hasn't wanted to wake up and details the moments he remembers after his 52 second defeat in Las Vegas at T Mobile Arena, how his country turned on him and how the negative words and reception from fans across the world has crippled him mentally and emotionally. But despite the pain he feels, Themba is reminded of how lucky he is to be alive today after a life of danger, trauma and instability. Born and raised in Zimbabwe, Themba's path to the UFC was anything but conventional. Hearing his story, the guys react as if it's a movie playing out as Themba details his childhood of dealing blood diamonds, being held hostage, running for his life, his family dying in front of him and escaping the unthinkable to make it to the land of opportunity. And then like any Hollywood film, a hero comes along to save him except this isn't Hollywood, this is Themba's true reality. Themba tells Ryan, Channing and Fred how his will to survive led him to the octagon, seeking a career in Mixed Martial Arts as he shares how on the morning of his first real fight, he only had $7.49 to his name and posted about it to show how he was down and could come back up. His message caught more attention than he could hope for, when Dwayne The Rock Johnson saw it and stepped in to help change Themba's life forever... The Rock may be Themba's real life saver but the true hero is Themba himself as his story is a powerful testament to resilience, determination, and the relentless pursuit of a dream. Coming off a heartbreaking loss brought on tears of embarrassment and hurt pride, but he is showing signs of strength again by opening up and trying to rise again. From humble beginnings to the pinnacle of professional fighting, his unwavering work ethic, sacrifices made along the way and the pivotal moments that shaped the man he is today, this conversation goes beyond the cage and into the heart of what it means to pivot when life throws the hardest punches.

In this Blood Diamond (2006) Movie Review, we explore Edward Zwick's gripping drama that shines a stark light on the human cost of the diamond trade. Set against the backdrop of Sierra Leone's brutal civil war, the film weaves an intense story of survival, greed, and redemption through the intertwined lives of a smuggler, a fisherman, and a journalist. With unforgettable performances by Leonardo DiCaprio, Djimon Hounsou, and Jennifer Connelly, Blood Diamond is a heart-pounding thriller that forces audiences to confront the dark truths behind luxury and the price of humanity.The Story: A Conflict Fueled by GreedSet in the 1999 civil war in Sierra Leone, the film follows three characters whose lives intersect around a rare pink diamond. Solomon Vandy (Djimon Hounsou) is a fisherman torn from his family and enslaved by rebel forces to mine diamonds. When he discovers the priceless gem, it becomes his hope for reuniting with his family and escaping the horrors of war.Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a jaded mercenary and diamond smuggler looking to use the gem as a ticket out of Africa. His motivations are driven by greed, but his journey alongside Solomon forces him to confront his moral compass. Meanwhile, journalist Maddy Bowen (Jennifer Connelly) seeks to expose the corruption and human suffering perpetuated by the diamond trade, risking her own safety to uncover the truth.The trio's quest takes them across the perilous terrain of Sierra Leone, navigating rebel ambushes, government corruption, and personal demons. Their intertwining stories paint a vivid picture of survival, humanity, and the pursuit of justice in the face of unimaginable violence.Leonardo DiCaprio: A Career-Defining PerformanceDiCaprio delivers one of the most compelling performances of his career as Danny Archer, a man grappling with his fractured sense of morality. Sporting a convincing Rhodesian accent, DiCaprio brings depth to the character, transforming Archer from a cold-hearted opportunist to a man seeking redemption. His chemistry with both Hounsou and Connelly is electric, driving the film's emotional core.Djimon Hounsou: The Heart of the FilmAs Solomon Vandy, Djimon Hounsou delivers a powerhouse performance, embodying a father's desperate fight to save his family. His portrayal of anguish, resilience, and determination is deeply moving, earning him a well-deserved Oscar nomination. Solomon's journey serves as the film's emotional anchor, reminding viewers of the human cost of conflict diamonds.Jennifer Connelly: The Voice of ConscienceJennifer Connelly's Maddy Bowen is a fierce and fearless journalist, providing a counterbalance to Archer's cynicism and Solomon's despair. Her character not only brings a journalistic perspective to the story but also challenges Archer to examine his role in perpetuating the cycle of exploitation. Connelly's nuanced performance highlights the sacrifices and risks involved in pursuing truth.Unflinching Realism: The Brutality of Conflict DiamondsOne of the film's greatest strengths is its unapologetic portrayal of the diamond trade's devastating impact on human lives. Through scenes of child soldiers, forced labour, and rebel atrocities, Blood Diamond immerses viewers in the horrors of Sierra Leone's civil war. The film doesn't shy away from the uncomfortable truths, shedding light on the greed and corruption that fuel the conflict.Director Edward Zwick's meticulous attention to detail ensures that every frame feels authentic, from the bustling markets to the desolate landscapes scarred by violence. Eduardo Serra's cinematography captures Africa's stark beauty while juxtaposing it against the brutal realities of war.Themes of Redemption and HopeAt its heart, Blood Diamond is a story of redemption and the enduring power of hope. Each character transforms: Archer finds his humanity, Solomon clings to hope despite unimaginable suffering, and Maddy's idealism pushes her to fight for justice. The pink diamond, initially a symbol of greed, becomes a beacon of hope for Solomon's family and a catalyst for change in Archer's life.A Thought-Provoking Call to ActionBeyond its thrilling action and emotional storytelling, Blood Diamond serves as a powerful critique of consumer culture and the ethical dilemmas surrounding luxury goods. The film challenges audiences to consider the true cost of the items they covet, making it both an entertaining and thought-provoking experience.The tagline “It will cost you everything” resonates not only with the characters' sacrifices but also with the message that our choices have far-reaching consequences. By the film's end, viewers are left questioning the morality of industries built on exploitation and whether change is truly possible.Critical Acclaim and LegacyUpon its release, Blood Diamond was praised for its intense performances, gripping narrative, and unflinching exploration of a sensitive subject. It received five Academy Award nominations, including nods for DiCaprio and Hounsou's performances, and earned widespread acclaim for its ability to balance action with social commentary.The film also sparked conversations about ethical diamond sourcing, increasing awareness of initiatives like the Kimberley Process. While it's not a perfect system, the movie's impact on public consciousness helped push the issue into the global spotlight.Flaws Worth MentioningWhile Blood Diamond is undeniably powerful, it's not without its flaws. Some critics have pointed out the occasional reliance on action-movie tropes, which can detract from the story's realism. Additionally, while well-acted, Maddy Bowen's character sometimes feels underutilised compared to the arcs of Archer and Solomon.Despite these minor shortcomings, the film's emotional weight and powerful performances more than compensate, making it a must-watch for anyone seeking both entertainment and a deeper understanding of the world's complexities.Final VerdictBlood Diamond (2006) is a riveting thriller that transcends the action-drama genre to deliver a poignant critique of greed, exploitation, and redemption. Powered by stellar performances from Leonardo DiCaprio, Djimon Hounsou, and Jennifer Connelly, the film balances edge-of-your-seat tension with deeply emotional storytelling. Its unflinching portrayal of the human cost of conflict diamonds is both haunting and unforgettable.Join us in this week's Born to Watch episode as we delve into the enduring legacy of Blood Diamond. We'll explore its impact on audiences, the ethical dilemmas it raises, and why this 2006 masterpiece remains as relevant today as it was nearly two decades ago.

Award-winning journalist Greg Campbell traces the deadly trail of these diamonds, many of which are brought to the world market by fanatical enemies. These repercussions of diamond smuggling are felt far beyond the borders of the poor and war-ridden country of Sierra Leone, and the consequences of overlooking this African tragedy are both shockingly deadly and unquestionably global Subscribe, Share, Links below!

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSELLER * USA TODAY BESTSELLERThis heartfelt and wry career memoir from the director of Blood Diamond, The Last Samurai, Legends of the Fall, About Last Night, and Glory, creator of the show thirtysomething, and executive producer of My So-Called Life, gives a dishy, behind-the-scenes look at working with some of the biggest names in Hollywood.“I'll be dropping a few names,” Ed Zwick confesses in the introduction to his book. “Over the years I have worked with self-proclaimed masters-of-the-universe, unheralded geniuses, hacks, sociopaths, savants, and saints.”He has encountered these Hollywood types during four decades of directing, producing, and writing projects that have collectively received eighteen Academy Award nominations (seven wins) and sixty-seven Emmy nominations (twenty-two wins). Though there are many factors behind such success, including luck and the contributions of his creative partner Marshall Herskovitz, he's known to have a special talent for bringing out the best in the people he's worked with, especially the actors. In those intense collaborations, he's sought to discover the small pieces of connective tissue, vulnerability, and fellowship that can help an actor realize their character in full.Talents whom he spotted early include Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Denzel Washington, Claire Danes, and Jared Leto. Established stars he worked closely with include Leonardo DiCaprio, Anthony Hopkins, Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Daniel Craig, Jake Gyllenhaal, Bruce Willis, Demi Moore, and Jennifer Connelly. He also sued Harvey Weinstein over the production of Shakespeare in Love—and won. He shares personal stories about all these people, and more.Written mostly with love, sometimes with rue, this memoir is also a meditation on working, sprinkled throughout with tips for anyone who has ever imagined writing, directing, or producing for the screen. Fans with an appreciation for the beautiful mysteries—as well as the unsightly, often comic truths—of crafting film and television won't want to miss it.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/writers-on-film.

On this week's episode of You Are What You Read, we are joined by Academy Award and Emmy-Award winning director, producer, and writer Ed Zwick with his instant New York Times bestselling autobiography, Hits, Flops and Other Illusions.  Ed directed some of the greatest movies of our time: Glory, Legends of the Fall, Blood Diamond, The Last Samurai, Courage Under Fire, Love & Other Drugs, and Defiance; and produced Steven Soderbergh's Traffic and Shakespeare in Love. With his longtime creative partner, Marshall Herskovitz, Ed co-created Emmy-award winning television shows, thirtysomething and Once Again. He's directed Hollywood's biggest stars from Denzel Washington to Julia Roberts, and in this conversation, Ed unpacks his intimate memoir about his career behind the movie camera.  We'd also like to thank our sponsor Book of the Month.  Head over to bookofthemonth.com and use Promo Code ADRI to get your first book for just $9.99.

This heartfelt and wry career memoir from the director of Blood Diamond, The Last Samurai, Legends of the Fall, About Last Night, and Glory, creator of the show thirtysomething, and executive producer of My So-Called Life, gives a dishy, behind-the-scenes look at working with some of the biggest names in Hollywood."I'll be dropping a few names," Ed Zwick confesses in the introduction to his book. "Over the years I have worked with self-proclaimed masters-of-the-universe, unheralded geniuses, hacks, sociopaths, savants, and saints." He has encountered these Hollywood types during four decades of directing, producing, and writing projects that have collectively received eighteen Academy Award nominations (seven wins) and sixty-seven Emmy nominations (twenty-two wins). Though there are many factors behind such success, including luck and the contributions of his creative partner Marshall Herskovitz, he's known to have a special talent for bringing out the best in the people he's worked with, especially the actors. In those intense collaborations, he's sought to discover the small pieces of connective tissue, vulnerability, and fellowship that can help an actor realize their character in full.Talents whom he spotted early include Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Denzel Washington, Claire Danes, and Jared Leto. Established stars he worked closely with include Leonardo DiCaprio, Anthony Hopkins, Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Daniel Craig, Jake Gyllenhaal, Bruce Willis, Demi Moore, and Jennifer Connelly. He also sued Harvey Weinstein over the production of Shakespeare in Love-and won. He shares personal stories about all these people, and more. Written mostly with love, sometimes with rue, this memoir is also a meditation on working, sprinkled throughout with tips for anyone who has ever imagined writing, directing, or producing for the screen. Fans with an appreciation for the beautiful mysteries-as well as the unsightly, often comic truths-of crafting film and television won't want to miss it.

It has appeared in every single De Beers diamond ad since 1948 and was ranked the number one slogan of the century by AdAge marketing journal in 1999. But, did you know, the company that hired Frances' ad agency to come up with this slogan, De Beers, used it to trick the entire world into thinking diamonds are worth way more than they actually are?
