Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has announced the DVD release of Blood Diamond in a Two-Disc Special Edition (that will include 75 minutes of extras) on March 20th for the suggested retail price of $34.98.

A single disc version of the DVD will also be released on March 20th for the suggested retail price of $28.98.

An ex-mercenary turned smuggler (Leonard DiCaprio). A Mende fisherman (Djimon Hounsou). Amid the explosive civil war overtaking 1999 Sierra Leone, these men join for two desperate missions: recovering a rare pink diamond of immense value and rescuing the fisherman's son, conscripted as a child soldier into the brutal rebel forces ripping a swath of torture and bloodshed across the alternately beautiful and ravaged countryside. Directed by Edward Zwick (Glory, The Last Samurai), this urgent, intensely moving adventure shapes gripping human stories and heart-pounding action into a modern epic of profound impact.

The Two-Disc Special Edition features include:

Blood on the Stone: 50-minute documentary that follows a diamond’s path from the ground to the store.
Becoming Archer: How Leonardo DiCaprio trained for his role as Danny Archer.
Journalism on the Front Line: Jennifer Connelly on women journalists at war.
Inside the Siege of Freetown: Edward Zwick on filming one of the movie’s pivotal sequences
