Bling: A Planet Rock (Featuring Kanye West, Raekwon, Paul Wall, Jadakiss & Many More)
In this riveting, unforgettable film, a few of hip-hop's finest - Raekwon of Wu-Tang Clan, Paul Wall, and Tego Calderon - travel to war torn Sierra Leon, West Africa, and come face to face with the real cost of bling. They meet people who've been affected by conflict or "blood" diamonds, including miners, amputees and former child soldiers. BLING explores the cultural significance of diamonds jewelry in hip hop and traces its evolution from the early 80's old school culture to the bling-encrusted billion-dollar industry it is today. Featuring Ishmael Beah, best-selling author of Along Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier and interviews with Kanye West, Big Daddy Kane, Jadakiss and Juelz Santana, BLING is without a question one of the most powerful films you will ever see.
