The Dig is a poetic dramatization of the 1939 archeological excavations in Suffolk that would yield the greatest treasure ever discovered in Great Britain, and "one of the most important archaeological discoveries of all time.” It tells the story of Mrs. Edith Pretty, who purchased land at Sutton Hoo ("Southern Farmstead") with her husband a decade earlier in order to excavate a series of curious mounds in the low-lying landscape. After her husband's death, Mrs. Pretty engages a self-taught, local amateur excavator, Mr. Basil Brown, to explore the mounds. At the threshold of the Second World War, Pretty's vision and Brown's experience open to them a glimpse of eternity. Watch it HERE on Netflix.
