A new true-crime documentary film on Netflix is creating a lot of buzz among fans of the genre. Titled ‘Fugitive: The Curious Case Of Carlos Ghosn‘, the 1 hour 35 minute documentary film charts the meteoric rise and bizarre fall of Carlos Ghosn, CEO of Nissan, one of the biggest motor companies in Japan and the world.
The Rotten Tomatoes synopsis of ‘Fugitive: The Curious Case Of Carlos Ghosn’ reads –
“How do you go from being one of the most revered CEOs of the car industry to being jailed in Japan, escape in a box and end up a fugitive with an international arrest warrant? This story is told by Ghosn’s closest collaborators and relatives. Success, hubris, paranoia, and the dark secrets behind his rise and fall. A tale of our times.”
And that’s how the bizarre story of Carlos Ghosn unfolds in reality. Rich, successful, and in a position of power, Carlos was catapulted to fame when he saved Renault and Nissan from bankruptcy in the late nineteen nineties. He also made an impact on the automotive manufacturing market of the 90s. He was considered the wizard of the car industry, who could turn around the business from the brink.
But the bubble burst in 2018, when Carlos Ghosn was convicted of financial irregularities in Japan. That’s when he engineered the most bizarre and outrageous escape from Japan – hidden in a trunk that was put on a flight first to Turkey and then to Beirut, Lebanon. Reportedly, Carlos Ghosn is still holed up in Lebanon, but is one of the most wanted criminals in Japan.
Watch ‘Fugitive: The Curious Case Of Carlos Ghosn’ on Netflix to understand the nitty-gritty of the bizarre case.
