Netflix’s This is a Robbery is a documentary that gives us vital information into what was coined as one of the biggest art heists ever with approximately 500 million dollars’ worth of art that went missing. It slowly became a global phenomenon and people all across the world could not believe it at the time.
Three decades ago, two thieves stole millions worth of art from Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. The location of these stolen items is a mystery to date. The two men dressed up as cops and made their way into the museum to steal nothing short of a fortune. ‘This is a Robbery’ is a documentary where investigators take a look at this case and try to figure out all the missing details that may just about help them with a mysterious revelation.
There is also a 10-million-dollar reward for anyone who solves this mystery so it’s time to don your detective hats as well. ‘This is a Robbery’ is spaced out as a 4-part documentary series. It is directed by Colin Barnicle. The documentary will try its best to give a more comprehensive view to the audience concerning the leads and evidence that was gathered during the time. Nick Barnicle (Colin Barnicle’s brother) is also part of the series and it marks their first venture into the ‘True Crime’ space. They are known for their sports projects such as The Glove and Glory Days.
I’m sure that many of you must have seen film or projects that claim to have the most audacious heists ever but the fact that something like this was pulled of and their identities still remain a mystery is truly baffling.
This is a robbery will stream on Netflix on 7th April.
