Back by popular demand, Diamond Inside follows a collective of mural artists from Madrid called Boa Mistura, during their trip to Cape Town, South Africa. The camera follows their time living and interacting with the people from Woodstock and Khayelitsha: a slumtown inhabited by over three million segregated people, mostly blacks whose lives dwell between the high rates of poverty and AIDS. Boa Mistura represents their own message to the people of Africa, through several murals on different buildings. Intending to instill a mindset to get out of poverty, Boa Mistura aims to “promote change surrounding yourselfwith images and colors that reflect what you want to achieve”, to future generations. Diamond Inside also puts the spotlight on the few who selflessly fight for initiatives aiding distressed groups such as kids and artists, promotingactivities to create changes in a society where drug deals, mafias and armedgangs are prevalent.
