Exploring the hidden history of South Africa's Diamond Coast, an American journalist uncovers the illicit trade of diamonds that thrived in a previously restricted area. Fascinated by the clever smuggling techniques, he reveals the audacious practice of using carrier pigeons to transport diamonds by attaching them to the birds' feet. This investigation sheds light on the intersection of crime, resource exploitation, and the global diamond market, offering a unique perspective on a little-known aspect of this coastal region's past.
