AI Summary

In November 1943, Belgian journalists and printers executed a daring media hack by intercepting the Nazi‑controlled newspaper Le Soir and replacing it with a satirical counterfeit, Le Faux Soir, mocking the occupiers. The stunt is described as the world’s first media hack. Belgian director Michaël R. Roskam, known for *Bullhead* and *The Drop*, adapted the event into a caper film, comparing it to *Ocean’s Eleven* but centered on a newspaper. The movie features a cast of Belgium and France’s funniest actors. *Le Faux Soir* premiered at TIFF and is being sold worldwide by Goodfellas.
