Considered to be a potential factor to hurt jewelry sales and the livelihoods of people in Africa due to its dramatic depiction of the so-called "conflict diamonds", upcoming Warner Bros. drama of "Blood Diamond" has received complaints from a group of gem industry officials such as World Federation of Diamond Bourses and World Diamond Council.

Noticing that the movie tells about the awful tragedy in Sierra Leone where 50,000 people perished in a civil war that ended in 2002, the industry executives in response demanded the flick's producer, co-writer, and director to add a scene at the end of the movie telling about improvements that have been made after the incident so that public wouldn't be left thinking the situation is still in chaos.
