Actor Martin Shaw portrays legendary diamond king and arch imperialist Cecil Rhodes in a lavish international production recreating the "Wild West" era in southern Africa at the turn of the century. All the world's diamonds were not enough for this charismatic, unscrupulous, and love-starved man who coveted the whole of Africa for the English race. (PBS Distribution)
