One of the world’s most notorious art heists is getting a true crime documentary from Studiocanal.

“The Paris-Tokyo Job (Or How To Rob A Yakuza),” a four-part series, is set to debut at La Rochelle’s Sunny Side of the Doc festival this month before bowing on Canal+ in France later this year.

The doc tells the story of Philippe “Fifi” Jamin, a flamboyant delinquent who became an international fugitive in the 1980s after his gang began stealing and trafficking world-famous artworks, including paintings by Corot, becoming entangled with the Japanese Yakuza in the process.
