Marina Walker, deputy director of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), and Gerard Ryle, who leads the ICIJ\u2019s headquarters staff in Washington, D.C.,\u00a0will also collaborate on the feature.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are confident that between the expert investigative work of Obermaier and Obermayer, the only journalists in touch directly with John Doe, the ICIJ, and the master storytelling of John Wells Productions, we will be able to deliver a gripping tale that will deliver the same type of impact as the The Panama Papers when they were first revealed on the world\u2019s front pages,\u201d said Ted Sarandos, chief content officer of Netflix.<\/p>\n<p>Rudnick Polstein, John Wells Productions&#8217;s president of features, added, \u201cWe could not be more excited to be working with Netflix on this project. They have an excellent track record of producing top-notch filmmaking and together, we are very much looking forward to getting started on shedding light on one of the most compelling news stories in recent memory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Obermaier and\u00a0Obermayer commented, \u201cIt all started with a \u2018ping,\u2019 when John Doe contacted us. That relationship and the work that came out of it grew to become the biggest data leak in history, and by far the biggest collaboration of journalists the world has ever seen; with over 400 journalists ultimately participating in this investigation. We are proud that our newspaper was the starting point for this story, which grew to be something monumental.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BEVERLY HILLS: Netflix is teaming with John Wells Productions on a feature film inspired by Panama Papers: Breaking the Story of How the World\u2019s Rich and Powerful Hide Their Money by Frederik Obermaier and Bastian Obermayer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":290,"featured_media":6446,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[1152,88,1153],"class_list":["post-6445","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-john-wells","tag-netflix","tag-panama-papers","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Panama Papers Feature in the Works for Netflix - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/panama-papers-feature-in-the-works-for-netflix\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Panama Papers Feature in the Works for Netflix - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"BEVERLY HILLS: Netflix is teaming with John Wells Productions on a feature film inspired by Panama Papers: Breaking the Story of How the World\u2019s Rich and Powerful Hide Their Money by Frederik Obermaier and Bastian Obermayer.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/panama-papers-feature-in-the-works-for-netflix\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-07-26T15:22:32+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2016-07-26T17:18:47+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2015\/09\/PanamaPapers-716.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/panama-papers-feature-in-the-works-for-netflix\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/panama-papers-feature-in-the-works-for-netflix\/\",\"name\":\"Panama Papers Feature in the Works for Netflix - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2016-07-26T15:22:32+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2016-07-26T17:18:47+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/panama-papers-feature-in-the-works-for-netflix\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/panama-papers-feature-in-the-works-for-netflix\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/panama-papers-feature-in-the-works-for-netflix\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Panama Papers Feature in the Works for Netflix\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\",\"name\":\"Mansha Daswani\",\"description\":\"Mansha Daswani is the editor-in-chief and associate publisher of World Screen.
