Diggers

"Diggers" is a poignant coming-of-age drama directed by Katherine Dieckmann that offers an intimate look at four blue-collar friends who grow up as clam diggers in The Hamptons, Long Island in 1976. The young men are part of a generations-old tradition - their fathers and grandfathers were clam diggers too. However, as times change, they must confront the challenges that come with adulthood while navigating the shifting landscape of their community. The film delves into themes of tradition vs. modernity and the universal struggle for identity amidst a rapidly evolving world, all told through the unique lens of these determined young men's lives as they strive to make their mark in an industry passed down through their families for decades.
