Twenty-four tons of diamonds are mined worldwide each year. Many people will help move the gems through the “pipeline.” In Diamond Road we get to meet some of the individuals who bring diamonds to the market. The path of the stones crosses five continents, and they move through the hands of prospectors, miners, cutters, jewelers, gem brokers, dealers, soldiers and smugglers.

n the Mexican city of Juárez, close to the American border, a striking number of young women have disappeared in recent years. Many have remained missing, but the discovery of several bodies has attested to the fact that the women were murdered. Bajo Juárez: The City Devouring its Daughters follows these unsolved and highly publicized crimes against women along the Mexico-U.S. border.

How can it be that most of the murders have remained unsolved and the perpetrators unpunished?
