Set in occupied Amsterdam during World War II, this suspenseful drama is based on the extraordinary true story of banker Walraven van Hall, who helped  finance the Dutch Resistance by defrauding the German-controlled Central Bank out of tens of millions of guilders - right under the Nazis' noses. Risking his family and his future, "Wally" recruits his brother Gijs and other good burghers in their financial circles to forge bonds that can be cashed for money to help Jewish families fearful of deportation and striking workers fearful of going broke. But the bigger their operation gets, the more people it involves. And every day brings a greater risk of someone making that one mistake that could put an end to the whole business - and the lives of the resistance bankers. A huge hit in the Netherlands, The Resistance Banker shines a spotlight on some of history's unsung heroes.
