“Sharing the Rough” captures the never before seen process of the journey of a colored gemstone from mine to market, while exploring the challenges of an emerging mining economy in East Africa. From discovery, to being shaped by master gem cutter Roger Dery, to its setting by award winning jewelry designer Mark Schneider, to the final purchase by someone who will cherish the piece for a lifetime, the film captures the passion involved in every step of marketing a gemstone.
A Q & A session with director, writer and producer Orin Mazzoni, will follow each show.
