The Panama Papers
(2018) A Documentary about
systemic corruption and income inequality
Directed by
Alex Winter United States, 2018
A reminder of
the important work reporters do in fighting abuses of power and the way that
work is evolving in an increasingly fractured global landscape. --Los
Angeles Times
The Panama Papers is a lively
and level-headed exposé, but it's also a moral inquiry into how the top echelon
is now united, structurally and spiritually, in robbing the rest of us
blind. -- Owen Gleiberman (Variety)
The most critical element of Winter's documentary is not the
scandal itself, but the fact that hundreds of journalists from around the world
were able to work together to expose this corruption, despite the consequences,
and their egos. --Film Threat
The reports detailed
tax evasion, fraud, cronyism, bribing government officials, election meddling,
and murder. The investigation proved that the system is rigged, and cracked the
vault of well-kept secrets and ill-gotten wealth, revealing vast and coordinated
corruption among the world's elite.
The significance for the
average, tax paying, law-abiding citizen is enormous; with the leaks showing that at least $32 trillion was
hiding in more than 80 tax havens in 2010 alone. But breaking the story was only the beginning.
There was immediate blowback from many of the named and
accused, who are using every tactic imaginable to silence the
journalists.
