Blood Diamond is a 2006 adventure-drama film directed by Edward Zwick and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Djimon Hounsou and Jennifer Connelly. Set during the Sierra Leone Civil War in 1999–2001, the film details the story of a fisherman, Danny Archer (DiCaprio), who is drawn into the conflict after discovering a rare pink diamond that is coveted by both the local rebel forces and a powerful international diamond cartel. The fisherman teams up with Maddy Bowen (Connelly), an American journalist and Solomon Vandy (Hounsou), a Sierra Leonean fisherman whose family has been torn apart by the conflict. Together, they embark on a journey to reclaim Vandy's family and the diamond, risking their lives in the process. Blood Diamond is a powerful film about the devastating effects of the global diamond trade, and the lengths people will go to in order to survive.

The Corporation is a 2003 Canadian documentary film written by Mark Achbar and Jennifer Abbott, and directed by Achbar and Joel Bakan. The documentary examines the modern-day corporation, considering its legal status as a class of person and evaluating its behavior towards society and the world at large as a psychologist would evaluate an ordinary person. Through interviews with corporate executives, critics, brokers, and others, the documentary looks at the sometimes controversial practices of modern corporations. It also explores topics such as the various motivations behind corporate behavior and the ethical implications of corporations having the same legal rights as individuals. The film features a wide range of views, including those of Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore, Micheal Moore, and Milton Friedman, among many others. Ultimately, The Corporation encourages viewers to think critically about the role of corporations in society and the need to redefine the relationship between corporations, government, and citizens.
