The Resistance Banker is a 2018 award-winning Dutch movie, set in the Netherlands during World War II. It is based on the true story of banker Walraven van Hall, who created and managed to fund the Dutch resistance during the war. It was the most-watched Dutch film of 2018. The Dutch are known for their financial genius and accomplishments—and this story is an inspiring example.
If we want to change the world, it’s not enough to organize; we need to finance change, too!

I just quickly watched the beginning on Netflix, in the background the family was playing music from Orquesta Aragon a famous Cuban band from 40s and 50s, yay to the Dutch for having good taste in music. I listened to Orquesta Aragon as a child growing up in New York City. It was a predominantly Cuban and Jewish community in that section of Manhattan back in those days. Man I am loving this movie in more ways than one now.
Damn, that’s what I am talking about, an underground bank. Where can we watch this in its entirety?
Outstanding true story! Thanks for the tip Catherine
