The Jewel Thief Trailer Is Out
Mumbai, 7th July 2023 (Newshelpline) - Hulu drops the official trailer for a true crime documentary film titled The Jewel Thief, about an art heist master.
The Jewel Thief is the unbelievable first-hand account of Gerald Blanchard, one of the most creative, calculating, accomplished criminal masterminds in modern history.
The Canadian thief is perhaps most well-known for stealing the iconic Star of Empress Sisi from Austria in 1998. It took two weeks before the swap was discovered. He was eventually caught and arrested in 2007, after going on to quietly and discreetly rob many banks in Canada.
With savant-like skill and a peculiar pride, Blanchard’s decades-long crime spree ranged from shoplifting to bank robbery to the theft of a royal crown jewel.
Told through the first-hand account of Gerald Blanchard himself and the unlikely Winnipeg detectives who tracked him across the globe, the doc film presents an offbeat, rollicking journey through a series of increasingly elaborate heists as Blanchard seeks fame and notoriety through a life of crime.
