Jewish News and Netflix to invite you to an exclusive screening of a new Belgian-Israeli crime thriller
Rough Diamonds is about an Orthodox Jewish family in Antwerp. Apply for tickets to our preview screening
ROUGH DIAMONDS is an eight-part crime drama that follows the struggles
and strife of the Wolfsons, a prominent strictly-Orthodox Jewish family in Antwerp’s world-famous diamond industry. When their youngest son takes his own life, his long-estranged brother Noah – who turned his back on his religion and made a new home within the criminal fraternity of London – returns to Antwerp and finds out that the family business is on the brink of collapse and under the heel of the local mob. While Noah desperately attempts to save the Wolfsons’ business and protect the family’s legacy and honour, he and his siblings must first settle their own internal battles.
Produced by Belgian production company De Mensen in collaboration with Keshet for Netflix, Rough Diamonds is co-written by Yuval Yefet with support from Yoav Netanyahu (who also wrote Season 3 of Fauda) and Edith Huybreghts. The series was directed by Rotem Shamir alongside Belgian director Cecilia Verheyden. Other Israelis in the cast include Yona Elian, who plays the Wolfson matriarch, Sarah Wolfson, wife of Ezra Wolfson who is played by stage star David ‘Dudu’ Fisher, whose career spans more than five decades, notably including his Broadway performance as Jean Valjean in the musical Les Misérables, which he also did in Israel.
Rough Diamonds starts on Netflix on 21 April, but Jewish News’ exclusive preview screening takes place at the Covent Garden Hotel on 20 April at 7pm. We have a limited number of tickets to give away.
