How Offshore Finance Corrupts Democracy

Behind Closed Doors is a Documentary about corruption in high places and those who enable that corruption.

Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) are people who hold a public function and as a result present higher risks of being involved in Bribery, Money Laundering 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? Watch Behind Closed Doors and find out.

Behind Closed Doors is a film by Michael Oswald and Murtaza Mehdi, about money laundering and corruption.

The fact that this film is self-funded by the filmmakers, and the risk with their life involved, the Journalist Arshad Sharif, who cost his life for this. Makes it to another level. Kudos to their effort.

[Hena]

I'm someone who watched Journalist Arshad Sharif's news program for years. He was my favorite Pakistani journalist.
I also support former PM Imran Khan for years. He is someone who sacrificed his all for the people. I only hope this documentary is an eye-opener for many who still stay silent under oppression. We need more voices to speak up.

Currently, another favorite journalist, Imran Riaz, was abducted by the Pakistani agencies/govt and we don't know his whereabouts or condition. Journalist Riaz had all year long raised his voice for colleague Arshad Sharif, including letter writing campaign to the Supreme Court. Now, he, too, is taken from us, the people. When will the whole nation take a stand?

[hatimsalman]

Rest in peace Arshad Sharif; your legacy will never be forgotten.

As a white South African I truly believed that the release of Nelson Mandela in 1994 would in a decade or two change the legacy of apartheid and colonisation and improve the lives of his fellow black South Africans. When it became clear that this was not happening, and the plight of the 'previously' oppressed was in reality getting worse, it led me seek out information and educate myself why global liberation struggles in previously colonised nations have almost universally failed to uplift the very previously oppressed and exploited people they claimed to have fought for. And the answer is now so clear to me and can directly be traced back to the old and new Western Empires i..e the EU and USA who through their corrupt financial markets, security agencies, media, military might and neo-liberal conomic policies continue to plunder the developing the global south of their resources. As as this insightful documentary exposes, they shield these corrupt politicians from any form of accountability and enable them to hide their obscene wealth. And as other scholars of 20 and 21st politics have exposed, where they cannot corrupt politicians, they simply use their intelligent agencies to smear, unseat or murder them through covert operations. The white Western world should hang their heads in shame at their legacy.

It's extremely sad that Pakistan's top investigative journalist Arshad sharif was assassinated as he exposed the powerful MAFIA of Pakistan.
This documentary will get 90% plus views from Pakistan just because of his appearance.
We lost a daring, honest and a true patriot.
😓❤️🇵🇰💚🤲

[Hena]

We need more documentaries like this. I appreciate all the work the filmmakers and team did to present us this docu.

[Azukos]

Finally!!
May Shaheed Arshad Sharif rest in Peace and may God bless all that have been involved on this documentary.

Thanks a lot, from France!
Waiting for the subtitles to share it with everyone!

[sensn]

Watching because of Arshad Sharif! Hero of our time!

[ReleaseImranKhanNOW]

Thank you for this much needed documentary. Hope more work can be done by journalists and film makers to expose the international money laundering scheme.

[erinmcdonald]

This is journalism. Thank you for this timely piece, giving us insight into what's truly wreaking havoc on these countries, especially Pakistan. Now, I hope that we can use this information to help us make changes happen.
Much respect to you and your team. Please take care and stay safe.
Rest in Peace and Power Arshad Sharif, Shireen Abu Akleh, Jamal Khashoggi and all the others who gave their lives bringing Truth to light.

Watching Arshad sharif 23:43 made me cry, what a gem of a human, and a top notch journalist was lost, murdered by ‘our own’ the ultimate betrayal. I feel sorry for his mother, who lost her husband and a son years ago, Arshad was the only man left in his family, ‘they’ took him out too

[klopboy]

Every Mass Communication student in universities all around the world should be made to watch this! They should be taught to stand with the Truth & follow along the lines of J. Arshad Sharif & PM IMRAN Khan!

[God_is_love_believe]

This is beyond devastating. If you have witnessed closely the devastating consequences for other human beings of this corruption, you will be angry and heartbroken. The sheer wicked greed of nations that facilitate corruption is unforgivable.

[chinmaymishra]

Every Documentary, right from Spider's Web to Behind Closed Doors, is an informative masterpiece kudos to this channel and all the creators

[summaiyamalik]

Watching Arshad Shareef expose The Sharifs without an ounce of fear brimmed my eyes with tears. He was as brave of a man as they come. He didn't shy away from the truth, neither did Imran Khan Niazi or Imran Riaz Khan. Look at how all of them were assassinated or made a target of assassination and political victimization. My heart cries for Pakistan and for all the poor in the world who are suffering at the hands of Sharifs, Aliyevs, Kenyattas. May Allah ease the sufferings and pain of the poor. Ameen.

[frankhynd]

Don’t forget Balzac’s warning that the secret of a great fortune no one can explain is invariably an undetected crime.

[andrewsmith-xhsf]

Glad to see investigative journalism isn’t dead. Good job.

[navya]

This is such master piece where no platform dare to bring the truths to common persons like us. Salute.

[lazyhsn]

I feel sad, angry and proud all at a time. Sad for Mr.Arshad Sareef, he was one of the gem. One of my Late friend literally cried a lot when he listen about his death news. Angry on Sharifs who looted our wealth and yet the want to prove that they are sincere with country and people, they are clean. Proud that from all the officials only Mr. Imran Khan come forward and speak on it. That shows only he is Brave and Clean from corruption. He spoke not only for Pakistan but also for all poor countries.
