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.

The Panama Papers is a decent primer to the events, which, even five years later, will still have you shaking your head in disbelief.

9/10

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.

Should be required viewing. Thank you to the investigative journalists the world over.

Disgusted with the 1%. They should all be jailed and their monies distributed to those who truly need it. Folks who are on payment plans for years because they owe too much due to common cost of living. Better yet, give it to trusted humanitarian charities. Build sanctuaries for homeless families that resort to living in their cars. Everyone should really watch this documentary. No matter the age. Our future is at stake. How can anyone be ok with this?

A beautifully crafted documentary. From the imagery to the interviews, you could feel the pressure and the importance of what these reporters were doing.

Important, timely and riveting, this film goes deep into how corruption at the highest level makes the wealthiest in the world wealthier - at the expense of ordinary people - and highlights the crucial role of investigative journalists and the risks they take to help liberate us all from this tyranny.

A great flick about how greed is consuming the resources of so many countries. Terrific tribute to investigative journalism too.
