Botswana 2025: “A Diamond Is Born” documents Botswana’s transformation through diamonds, tracing their journey from billion-year-old stones beneath the Kalahari Desert to the colossal open-pit mines of Jwaneng and Orapa, and into the cutting rooms of Gaborone. The series explores both the industrial and human dimensions of the diamond economy, capturing a nation whose prosperity and identity have been shaped by this single resource, now facing an uncertain future as reserves decline and synthetic alternatives rise. @Giulio Di Sturco/Icebreaker Production
