Description

Mama, if I was to dig a hole in our garden, would I find a diamond?
No, darling, there are no diamonds here.
Where are diamonds, then?
Oh, in other countries. In Africa, for example...

A powerful parable that explores how the desire for endless riches perpetuates chains of inequality and corruption.
