Diamond John

Diamond John is a period-dramatic-comedy about the man who discovered diamonds in Arkansas; the wildly eccentric character, John Wesley Huddleston. He tries to support his wife and five daughters by digging for gold and precious minerals while raising a few animals on the side. But the ground has consistently turned up dry. When faced with the news that his family's home is facing imminent foreclosure, John is forced to decide between getting a respectable job, or continuing his passionate prospecting with unlikely hopes of striking it rich. With his wife threatening to take their five daughters and leave, the stakes are high. But who knows? Maybe he'll discover one of the largest naturally occurring diamond sites in the world...
