A great film dealing with so many issues around the diamond trade and life in general in Africa. Full of action and great acting, a moving film and brutally violent at times.

"Viva Zapata ... It's a heroic tale of a person who sacrificed everything for what he believed in and there's some of the most moving scenes in that movie that I've ever seen."

Was a bit reluctant to watch because of mixed reviews. My thirteen year old watched it first and insisted we all sit and watch together. Sandra Bullock was excellent in the movie. The story kept my attention, although I thought it was a bit slow moving. Very thought provoking, and had my family discussing afterwards. It did remind me a bit of The Walking Dead. I would recommend watching it to others.

Real life
Violence, drugs, suicide. Welcome to the world of a prison doctor
The book is a real life account of a prison doctor who is treating patients in UK prisons. It tells of the violence, drugs and heart ache of the inmates and how she helps and copes with the day to day of prison life. Parts of it are truly disturbing but other parts made me smile. It is very moving and yet very readable

"The second one is Bicycle Thieves, by De Sica. That was the most moving film I’ve ever seen. The scene in there where the dad has lost his bicycle and he takes his kid out for a pizza in 1948 Rome, and the kid is eating it but he’s not ’cause he can’t afford to pay for it, is one of the all-time most moving scenes I’ve ever seen in a cinema. It’s an amazing film."
