But this one is a bit different, as Joe Berlinger's series features eyewitness testimony of William F Shirer, who wrote The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.

But as law enforcement inches closer, his once-carefree life spirals into a suffocating trap, forcing him and his crew to risk it all in one final heist.
