Netflix Unveils Trailer for True-Crime Doc Stolen: Heist of the Century
Launching August 8 on Netflix, Stolen: Heist of the Century is the latest jaw-dropping documentary film from RAW (producers of American Nightmare, The Tinder Swindler) in association with Amblin Documentaries (producers of Big Vape: The Rise and Fall of Juul) and in collaboration with Wildside.
The ultimate true-life crime caper, Stolen: Heist of the Century, tells the story of the world’s greatest diamond heist. For the first time, the Antwerp detectives who cracked the case and the alleged criminal mastermind assemble to give a blow-by-blow account of what really happened and reveal the secrets of “The Heist of the Century.”
On the morning of February 17, 2003, detectives from Antwerp’s infamous “Diamond Squad” were called to investigate the brazen night-time robbery of an allegedly impregnable vault in the middle of the City of Diamonds.
It is estimated that between 100 million and half a billion dollars’ worth of diamonds were stolen – and have never been found. An ingenious gang of master jewel thieves from Italy, known as “The School of Turin” were behind the audacious heist – now, after more than 20 years, the world will finally learn how they pulled it off.
RAW’s Mark Lewis (Don’t F**k With Cats, Vatican Girl) wrote and directed the film, which is based on the book Flawless by Scott Andrew Selby and Greg Campbell. The executive producers for RAW are Dimitri Doganis and Jonny Taylor.
The executive producers for Amblin Documentaries (Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story) are Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank.
The co-executive producer is Chiara Messineo. Lorenzo Gangarossa, Scott Selby, and Michael Woodlief are also executive producers.
The head of production is Nicky Murphy, the production executive is Sinead Casey, and the line producer is Abigail Watts.
