Behind Closed Doors: Corruption in High Places

Behind Closed Doors: A film about corruption in high places and those who enable it. Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) are people who hold a public function and as a result present higher risks of being involved in bribery or corruption. Offshore leaks have revealed repeatedly that PEPs use British
finance and British offshore jurisdictions to launder their wealth, hide their wealth and re-invest that wealth back into the global financial system. London is the place where they buy property, where they take legal action against their critics and where they live when they fall from grace. But what happens
when a developing country fights back and attempts to get Britain to return the money that it claims has been stolen?
Director : Michael Oswald

Im from the USA and lived in Eastern Africa Tanzania for two years.. Made me really wake up to how the world is and how much greed corrupts. They were some of the hardest working and smartest people ive met yet when you see the money being siphoned off through politicians you realize they're robbing their own citizens of opportunity to grow for themselves and their country.

"London is a destination of choice for politically exposed persons and their family members..." is the reason why I have turned down multiple opportunities to relocate. I don't want to be in a city where I will constantly have to watch their kids my age flaunt the family's ill gotten wealth.

Awesome documentary. Specially like the comment of Imran Khan "I have come to this conclusion that countries are poor only because of corruption". Thanks guys, much appreciated work. Same is going in my country also.

Arshad Sharif the journalist in this video was assassinated in Kenya by the current corrupt Sharif government.
He was a highly respected journalist who worked tirelessly exposing the corrupt government.

What have we created of this world by letting money control us. Very insightful documentary that every human in this planet must watch.

You are the light of conscience and torch of the truth by reflecting the bitter facts of human tragedies through hard work and pain sticking research. This is beyond investigating journalism, it is excavation of hidden secrets in the name of justice and science against all odds. History and ethics are shining at you and cherish such immense dedication with admiration and deepest homage. Bravo! Thanks!

Excellent work. These people don't respect people. Their God is money and power. Their moment will come.

This was an excellent documentary. We need more of these and awareness about the real evil that stands dressed in saints clothing.

It is not surprising that a country like Britain that still has a Monarchy rooted in ancient anachronic customs, would continue doing these sort of corrupt activities. It is part of the mindset to fall into these practices.

[ShariqAyazTech]

The best documentary on the corruption genre I have ever watched so far. I hope you will do one feature for my country, the Philippines, too. I am now a Canadian citizen but the sad plight of my homeland in the clutches of immoral and seemingly evil politicians and government officials never left my consciousness. I pray that more inspiring and ideal filmmakers like you will find more funding so you can continue to expose and educate everyone.

As Azerbaijani, I am glad the regime is getting exposed to more people. Even though I like to see my country from outside perspective, it makes me sad to see this from this context.

When I was 10, I passed by a portrait studio in the Brent Cross shopping mall, and one of the portraits was of an African general. The artist said he was a diplomat in London. I asked, "How can an African diplomat afford to have his portrait painted?"
