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.
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?
to destroy corruption like this you need to become like them and use military style force to regain and make your country free from criminals like these dirt bags. Pakis know where they are. stand up and fight.
What did Imran Khan do for Pakistan in the years that he was in power? The same as all others before him. Received and supported the Pakistan Military. Today Pakistan is on its knees. Imran Khan is not different. He’s no visionary, simply spewing the same old religious bunkum while people go hungry.
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. 😓❤️🇵🇰💚🤲
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.
Agreed. My interest in this legacy really started when I was young, before I understood the concept of colonialism. I was fortunate to have access to courses and instructors in college, who helped me continue this pursuit. But, for me it seems that the true depth and breadth of this legacy has been illuminated by investigative journalists making the connections and bringing pieces like this to the international forum. It angers me to see the complicity of the western governments, UK and US especially, in this bleeding of wealth from less powerful countries and the wholesale interference in their governments and institutions. I naively thought that the days of overthrowing other governments were over. However, this can't be denied. We must do everything we can to get corrupt people out of our governing bodies. Those of us in the US and UK bear extra responsibility in following through with anti-corruption, pro-democracy actions. May we get this right. RIP Arshad Sharif, Shireen Abu Akleh, and all the courageous journalists who gave their lives bringing us the truth. 💜
thank you so much for making this documentary. A lot of respect and salute to Arshad sharif, Imran khan and those who made this possible. At the same time it's a shame to have such conditions that we can't do anything about these robbers and looters due to a lot of terrorism and corruption in our systems.
Mi-6 was behind his killing.... That's what Britain does....They lure people exposing them to one of their colonies in Africa, especially Kenya, then arrest or kill them. Britain is evil....
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!
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.
Just the tip and going on for centuries. Money sadly was used as a tool to control. Paradise/ Panama/ Pandora’s papers didn’t just report on world leaders. They incl royalty (yes those royals) and many popular famous names with loyal followers. Many images/brands worth billions were at risk but very few on YT covered it. Interesting. Truthstream media new video.
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.
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!
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.
There’s far more to the story of how our world really works. This is just the tip. Also the Paradise/ Panama/ Pandora’s papers didn’t just report on world leaders. They incl many popular famous names with loyal followers even top royals. Many images/brands worth billions were at risk but very few on YT covered it. Interesting.
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
there are some serious questions which should be answered by the global elites and their facilitators, asked in the documentary. appreciated the efforts, the documentary has revealed the truth behind the closed door. Good work. RIP arshad sharif😢
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.
Michael Oswald is doing the most important work i can think of. THIS subject is the reason for so much suffering in the poorer parts of the world. It is absolutely despicable how the west, and City of London in particular, assist in creating more injustice and wealth gap in the world.
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.
This is truly amazing! The level of effort and dedication put into this video is commendable. It would be wonderful if the content could be translated into all the national languages of the countries discussed, including Urdu for Pakistan and many others.
I am from N.Ireland and I spent a couple of weeks in Baku around 2008/9 working with a voluntary organisation. At that time one of the major mechanisms being used was the division of real estate amongst the elites, i.e. a gov minister would be given an office building where they would let out each floor to their subordinates. The subordinates would then similarly divide up their floor and so on, allowing the flow of bribes and who gets access to be heavily controlled. Another real estate related issue was the use of sub standard building materials. and I would not be surprised if both these things still continued today.
@@Samedagagamikhlarov I certainly don't doubt what you are saying sir, but as stated I was there when I was and prefer to commit to what I know rather than making assumptions based on it.
As Pakistanis,we appreciate your efforts. Additionally,even if these mafias have killed Arshad Sharif and destroyed Imran Khan but we all are an integral part of Arshad Sharif and Ik ,our hearts beat as one! We will not forgive and forget all of those who were responsible!
Arshad Sharif will live in every Pakistani's heart. He fought for the rights of a common Pakistani. I haven't met any Pakistani who hadn't cried over Arshad Sharif's death. Miss his voice and program every day 😢
Rest in peace Arshad Sharif. Thank you for speaking the truth and exposing the corrupt. Great documentary. Extremely eye opening. Praying for my country Pakistan🇵🇰 Thank you for making this documentary. I pray the corrupt people are held accountable.
Thanks Michael for providing us this magnificent, Academy Award documentary type like this. In fact all your video is worth more than all the winner of every movies award. ❤
Pakistan is devastated by the corruption of not only the Sharif Family Mafia but also another big family Bhutto-Zardari Family Mafia and also the powerful army generals. RIP Arshad Shareef who gave the ultimate sacrifice to bring forth the truth.
Amazingly well put together production, honestly admire the commitment, adversity, and willpower it must have taken to get this information out for everyone to see. Very informative, great work.
I really appreciate the amazing work you guys have done, the books, literature and most if countries media lies about these politicians and declare them innocent in all ways but documentaries like this are eye openers for many others! RIP Arahad Shareef, he will be missed by the entire nation and remembered as a martyred.
Arshad sharif we live u from the bottom of our heart ❤️ 😢 you are truly gaining rewards by every person watching this we love u you r our Hero martyrs are slways aliveeee
This channel is fantastic. I would like to see some wider documentaries that have a flavour of US international corruption like this documentary alluded to towards the end.
😮 it's as much propaganda as anything else is. How else can the narrator meaningfully describe making profit and saving it in off shore accounts as "invest... [ing it] in the global economy"?
@@morgengabe1that’s because it is. They will launder those money by investing it - they will buy houses, company shares, etc that is located in the West, probably in London or something.
@@000t9 buying a house that sits empty while someone lives on the street shrinks the economy. Under present circumstances, if an international investor makes profit in your economy, they will have to extract wealth from it.
Fun Fact: the official guardians of the City of London are called _Gog and Magog (yajuj majuj)_ . You can find them at the Guildhall on Bank Street, and paraded annually at the Lord Mayor's show.
Great brilliant. Each couldnhave its own series. Colonialism never finished. It just evolved and changed its visibility. The banking systems is how they rule the world
Damn, I was like "wow, who's this Pakistani journalist, seems very thorough and charismatic" (didn't retain the name when he first appeared in the video), then randomly scrolling down the comments I see a lot of "Arshad Sharif 💔". Checked the relevant timestamp and man... RIP Arshad Sharif , searched for the cause of the death and bruh, that's some bullshit SMH.
Superb efforts, that deserve every bit of recognition & praise considering the inherent dangers in exposing politically exposed persons. As a sequel- an in depth documentary series on the individual elite political ruling families dominating the international money laundering market & those governments that aid & abet financial crimes would be welcomed most by disadvantaged populations & for those who believe in good governance.Moreover the secret intricacies of the banking & legal system in the UK & who are its key characters,it policy makers,the individuals,firms & politicians who facilitate in processing the proceeds corruption all need a through airing & sharing.
It's good that someone is representing our side. Thank you for your hardwork and risks. Take care and good luck for the future. May Allah be with you.❤
Great documentary, unmasking crooks and money launderers elites in third world countries my lord dismantle them and give relief to the people of these countries and weaken people thank you for your hard work to broadcast this video and enable us to understand what really goes around behind the closed doors 🚪 more power to all people involved in making this video ❤
I think the complicity of the West and City of London in particular is the most shocking part. I expect corruption in countries with weak, unstable institutions. To see rich countries assisting in it is truly shocking.
These days, anytime I'm watching or reading something bad and evil going anywhere in the world and in past history,....as soon as I see Britain appear in the scene, I immediately understand the root cause of the issue been portrayed.
Money talks and bullshit walks. Another excellent documentary by this filmmaker. Well done to all those who work tirelessly to expose this extremely dark, destructive, and insane system. Humanity needs to find the will to help create a way of life that so desperately calls for another way of living; preferably one that is not imposed upon us by the lunatics who have been in control of world history for far too long.
Brilliant Work Guys. Nicely exposed and explain every detail. Waiting for another part. Sorry, to say but you missed some Institutes that worked along with the sherif family.
As someone from the US, having watched the cancer that is the tRump family metastisize over the last 20 or so years, I'm guessing they have enough material to produce a lifetime's worth of exposés like this one. I hope they continue producing and digging into corruption. Honestly, I would like to see them pull out what they have on TFG and his henchmen to add to Jack Smith's work. DJT and associates need to be buried under the mountainous weight of their crimes. Then, go for the rest. After seeing this, I want to know who's connected to the Sherif's in our institutions. I'd love to see some jail space made for all these crooks in some place like Rikers. My heart goes out to the people of Pakistan. Much respect to those who put their lives on the line investigating this corruption. Rest in Peace and Power Arshad Sharif ✊
We can't thanks you for this very important and compulsory documentary. It will be more great if you translate it in URDU. A lot of population unable to understand English in Pakistan.
Some people who engage in such activities all over the world are welcomed with open arms and encouraged to carry out such practices while some people who speak against such things get grounded for life.
The same story throughout the world. Corrupt blackmailing those who speak up even going as far as killing them or using their private affairs against them.
