The Kim Kardashian Diamond Heist to Air on BBC Three

The Kim Kardashian Diamond Heist, telling the inside story of Kim Kardashian’s robbery in 2016, is set to debut on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer later this month.

The 45-minute film will feature interviews with friends, police officers and journalists who followed the case to delve into the night when the reality star was robbed of millions of dollars’ worth of jewelry in Paris at gunpoint and the aftermath, including the conviction of eight people just last month.

The Kim Kardashian Diamond Heist is produced by Firecracker Films for the BBC. It is being distributed by Passion Distribution.

“This documentary offers an insight into one of the most publicized celebrity crimes of our time committed on one of the most famous women on the planet, which will delve into the facts behind the gossip and explore the price of fame in the digital age,” said Nasfim Haque, head of content at BBC Three.

Sam Emmery, creative director of Firecracker, said, “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.”
