What is Rough Diamonds about?

Rough Diamonds is a Belgian narrative drama that explores the intricacies of family, faith, and finance within the Orthodox Jewish diamond dealing enclave of Antwerp. The series begins with Noah Wolfson returning home following his brother's suicide, only to find his family's diamond business on the brink of collapse due to crippling debt. Noah, who previously left the Haredi community and the Orthodox faith, is forced to confront his past, mend his estranged family ties, and navigate a perilous journey through the diamond trade's dark corners. This includes contending with organized crime elements and an intense legal scrutiny from a dedicated prosecutor. The show is well-supported by a cast that includes Kevin Janssens, Els Dottermans, and Ini Massez, among others, contributing to its rich character portrayals and the authentic depiction of community dynamics. 'Rough Diamonds,' produced by a collaboration between Keshet International, De Mensen, and VRT, is a gripping series that provides a look into a world where loyalty, trust, and tradition clash with the thirst for survival and power, set against the backdrop of the glittering yet dangerous world of diamond trading.
