The White Diamond

The White Diamond (click on image to see a collection of photos)
Recently saw The White Diamond on SBS and I liked it very much. This film is absolutely amazing, specifically because it truly honors its subjects. One in particular, a local Rastafarian workman named Mark Anthony Yhap, was one of the most eloquent, humane and beautiful people I have seen in a documentary. The simplicity of his lifestyle, his desire to include his precious pet rooster on his journey, and his longing to reconnect with his family; I was truly moved by him. The White Diamond's flight brings hope and whimsy into the lives of the people who came into contact with it.
