BBC Three will air a documentary on the inside story of Kim Kardashian’s robbery in 2016 and its impact, with those close to the case revealing details about the crime for the first time.

Nasfim Haque, Head of Content at BBC Three:

“This documentary offers an insight into one of the most publicised 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.”

Featuring interviews with friends of the family, police officers and journalists who have followed the case, the documentary takes viewers back to that fateful night when stateside reality telly star Kim was robbed of millions of dollars’ worth of jewellery in Paris at gunpoint nearly ten years ago. The corporation can now reveal new detail and insight into what happened and follow the story up to Kim facing her robbers in court last month, where eight people were found guilty.

Firecracker Creative Director, Sam Emmery:

“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.”

The Kim Kardashian Diamond Heist is a one-off documentary, it will air in a 45 minute slot and is produced by Firecracker Films for the BBC. The show will air on BBC Three and BBC One later this month. It will also be available on BBC iPlayer.
