THE FOOTBALLER FRAUDSTER

In the last ten years, Medi Abalimba has claimed to be an MI6 agent, premier league soccer star Gael Kakuta, a soccer agent, an NFL player, conned a top record executive into believing he was a Colombian rapper, and convinced Thierry Henry's ex-wife that he was a navy seal. Unlike other con artists, Medi was elite; his MO was rarely the same. In his skilled operation, he became who you want him to be, intently studying his victims to con them out of large sums of cash.

This feature-documentary gets under the skin of how he did it, the psychology of why, and the long-lasting damage caused to the many victims who trusted him.
