In 2016 Kim Kardashian was robbed of millions of dollars worth of jewellery at gunpoint whilst in Paris. Featuring interviews with friends of the family, police officers and journalists who have followed the case, this documentary reveals the details of what really happened and how eight people were found guilty in court last month.
With those closest to the case speaking for the first time, this film is a unique insight into one of the most talked about modern-day crimes and how those guilty were brought to justice.
The Kim Kardashian Diamond Heist will air on BBC Three and BBC One later this month. It will also be available on BBC iPlayer.
Firecracker Creative Director, Sam Emmery says: “This is one of the most high-profile robberies of the digital age, with social media said to have played a part in the heist. The film is an opportunity to show how the perpetrators were eventually brought to justice and the lasting impact the ordeal had on its victim, Kim Kardashian.”
Firecracker Chief Creative Officer Jes Wilkins and Firecracker Creative Director Sam Emmery are the Executive Producers, with Ben Bryant as Director and Jessica Sartenaer as Producer. The programme was developed by Kirsty Calvert-Ansari and Julie Scott is the Head of Production. It will be distributed by Passion Distribution.
