- Synopsis
- TV Miniseries (2009). Rough is a Canadian (Sienna Films), South African (Philo Pieterse – Love Reigns (Pty) Ltd), British (Alchemy Television Productions) co-production. The series is executive produced by award-winning Canadian producing partners, Jennifer Kawaja and Julia Sereny, and Carrie Stein. Philo Pieterse is the South African producing partner along with Nick Witkowski in the UK. The series is associate produced by Elise Cousineau (CA), with Georges Campana (France) serving as Production Executive.
In the tradition of epic mini-series events, Rough weaves together five story strands, each providing a different perspective of the world of diamond trading and the enigmatic characters that inhabit it. The intertwined sagas encompass power, war, sex and politics in the shocking and exploitative world of diamonds.
Ruthless Lucas Denmont (James Purefoy) is heir to his family’s once mighty, but now faltering, diamond conglomerate. Voracious and desperate to restore the business to its former glory, Denmont will stop at nothing; a stunning British model (Louise Rose) - with roots in West Africa - is recruited as “the face” of the Denmont diamond - and Denmont’s ‘diamond girl’- when she and Lucas fall deeply in love.
The unsolved murder of her geologist daughter pulls an American Senator, Joan Cameron (Judy Davis), into a massive investigation of the global diamond trade. Her daughter’s co-worker, Stephanie, meanwhile, flees her guilt in the remote Canadian Arctic where she signs on with a prospector who is struggling to keep the diamond discovery – he’s on the verge of making – out of the hands of a rival exploration company controlled by the Denmont Corporation.- Awards
