I followed the topic since it came to light, and all that I can say is that this documental let me down strongly.

I mean, there is A LOT of material to talk about in this documental (from now on TPP)... but no, instead of focusing on the tax evasion problem, in TPP you can see how journalists collect-organize-clasifiy-publish information. In general, that's it.

Also, TPP is too partial. I can give you two facts, two examples that you can check using your own means: Fact 1: TPP devote quite amount of minutes on Vladimir Putin (Russia's President)... but Putin isn't holder of an offshore account! Fact 2: Mauricio Macri (Argentina's President) appeared in The Panamá Papers as the holder of two offshore accounts (Kagemusha S. A. and Fleg Trading Ltd.)... but TPP barely mention him. 20 seconds at most.

TPP tries to explain that the whisteblower who leaked the documents (that's how the journalists get the information, by the way... they didn't did the dirty job) just did a tiny piece of the work basically.

Very disappointing documental.

"The horrific magnitude to the detriment of the world should shock us all awake! When it takes whistle blower to sound an alarm that signals that democracy's checks and balance have all failed, that the breakdown is systemic, and that severe instability could be just around the corner" 3 super leaks happened in early part of this century. WikiLeaks, Snowden and Panama papers that shook the globe. This is a documentary about how the ugly secret of many wealthiests, world leaders, celebrities, cartels and major corporations was unveiled including how a major bank got involved in concealing $16 billion of Iran wire transfers, dealing with bank that is linked to Al-Qaeda, ignoring Mexican drug money laundering...the shell companies, tax evasion, money laundering and more... And the outcome of this was resignations by many leaders such as Iceland Prime Minister, Pakistan Prime Minister (who was also fined $10 million and sentenced to 10 years in prison),UK Prime Minister, Brazil President ( he was impeached),Brazil opposition party was charged with corruption, Spain minister for industry energy and tourism, FIFA's ethics judge, Head of transparency international in Chile, The CEO of Hupobank in Austria, (HSBC Switzerland paid hefty fines) This is not a scoop.. it is a collective and collaborative investigative journalism that is bold and level-headed. Hats off to those journalists and the source! The stats are not unexpected but unsettling. A MUST watch documentary..

The Panama Papers is an exposé of the financial underworld and named much like "The Pentagon Papers" exposé of 1971. It's a mostly interesting account of the lengths the super rich will go to hide their wealth - many times illegally acquired - from taxing authorities. And these are not your banana republic dictators but First World leaders, celebrities, and sports figures. However, the account dwells a lot on the investigative efforts of journalists worldwide and the risks to them, and though that's of some interest, it seems to be more the focus of the film. I wasn't quite satisfied with this approach, nor the way it concluded. Sure, many govt leaders were forced to resign but why not prosecuted/jailed? The film could've delved into that, too, but didn't.
