| Diamond
Hunters (2001) |
| |
| |
| Set against the
background of South Africa's
emerald coast and diamond mines, Diamond
Hunters traces the torrid
fortunes of a family unable to
forgive and forget. Johnny (Sean
Patrick Falnnery), a successful
diamond hunter, gets sucked back
into a family that had been his
own, before the patriarch, Jacob
Van der Byl (Roy Scheider),
abandoned him 20 years ago.
Painful memories of an unjust
father and a long lost love come
back to reality as Johnny is
pitted against his own
half-brother Benedict (Michael
Easton) in |
 |
|
| a fight over two women, a
diamond empire and ultimately, his very
survival. Played out over two episodes, Diamond
Hunters describes Johnny's thwarted
attempts to win the approval of Jacob,
and the under-hand schemes by which the
inimical Benedict plans to defeat him.
Tracey (Alyssa Milano), Benedict's sister
and Johnny's true love, further
complicates the fraternal rivalry, as all
attempt to overcome the demons that
survive from their troubled childhood. |

| Diamond Hunters reportedly
aired in France on the French station,
TF1 on November 15, 2001 as a full length
movie (140min). |
