DIGGERS

Diggers, a coming-of-age film set in 1970s Long Island, New York, follows the fortunes of four working-class friends, Hunt (Rudd), Jack (Eldard), Cons (Hamilton), and Lozo (Marino). The men are the last generation of independent clam-diggers, and are slowly being pushed out by a corporation that has settled in the area. The twin threats of job loss and possible financial instability shake up the isolated world they live in, and tension starts to build for everyone. But when his father dies while on the job, Hunt is struck by the reality of his own mortality. After a few heart-to-hearts with his friends and his sister Gina (Maura Tierney), Hunt becomes enlightened, and reminded that his life is his own.
