Summary
"On the trawler The Spirit of Namibia, moored off the coast of Namibia, diamond mining goes on around the clock. The supply of the coveted little diamonds on the ocean floor seems endless, but their extraction is muddied by politics, and fraught with racial tension. Directors Adi Barash and Ruthie Shatz received permission to film everyday life on the Spirit of Namibia from diamond exporter De Beers, but the result-- which shows fraying tempers, racist attitudes, a deteriorating vessel and front office indifference-- hardly flatters the company."--Container.
