CONT.
Their names all turned up in the Panama Papers, the biggest known leak of
documents in history, detailing how a financial services firm in Panama hid billions
of dollars from tax authorities for the rich and powerful, using an array of shell
companies and proxy owners to confuse the trail and protect the anonymity of
wealthy clients. How to translate this deliberately bewildering movement of cash
into a compelling story, in print and on screen?

Walker Guevara, senior editor and project manager, International Consortium of Investigative

One of this year’s most talked about projects is a five-part, 464-minute
documentary film that is as epic in its length as it is in its achievements. Ezra
Edelman’s, O.J.: MADE IN AMERICA, follows the life of Simpson from his early
days growing up in San Francisco through his incarceration in Nevada’s Lovelock
Correctional Center, where he remains to this day. Hailed as a masterwork
of scholarship, journalism and cinematic art, the film has been meticulously
researched and constructed out of hundreds of hours of archival footage, and over
65 new interviews.
With moderator Ann Hornaday, chief film critic, The Washington Post; Ezra Edelman,
