El Solitario
Written by Christopher Murphy
El Solitario
This journey started with an honest letter to a man in prison. It continues now with an honest letter to yourselves.
It is the true story of Jaime Giménez Arbe a.k.a “El Solitario”, the former Spanish public enemy number one. He was arrested in Portugal in 2007 after robbing thirty six banks single handedly in Spain over a fifteen year period. It has been the biggest media story in both Spain and Portugal within recent memory.
The writer is in the unique position to have the fully authorised permission and complete trust of Sr. Jaime Gimenez Arbe to tell his life as a film or series.
BASED ON THE AUTHORISED TRUE STORY OF JAIME GIMENEZ ARBE.
