"The Ambassador:" a gutsy Danish documentarian/journalist takes a hidden camera and attempts to

become a Liberian diplomat to facilitate his diamond smuggling from the Central African Republic, a land torn by incessant civil war, coups, and almost absolute decadence and corruption.
This film shows how helpless indigenous people are when the most powerful nations on earth need the resources of a small and all but defenseless nation.
Fascinating for the courage shown by this guy and his assistant, and also for the amazing cast of real-life characters.
One telling fact: honest leaders get wasted, ones that "play ball" with foreign powers get gifted with wealth, foreign citizenships and residences.
Beautiful women, caviar, champagne, handfuls of diamonds, colorful diamond dealers, drunken pygmies, reams and reams of cash exchanging hands-----all this rushing headlong to a startling ending.
And all of it true.
Wow.
