PETALING JAYA: The Kleptocrats, a documentary on the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) scandal, has made its debut this week at the 2018 Doc NYC, an annual documentary festival.

Directed by Britons Sam Hobkinson and Havana Marking, the 86-minute documentary tells the story of the scandal and those connected to it, including former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, businessman and now fugitive Jho Taek Low, and Hollywood celebrity Leonardo DiCaprio.

It also follows the investigations conducted by journalists from publications such as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and The Hollywood Reporter, who worked to uncover the scandal.

In a review on Screendaily, film critic Allan Hunter wrote that “interviews with (then-opposition) politician Tony Pua, political cartoonist Zunar and activist (now MP) Maria Chin Abdullah remind us that a great story was also a national tragedy.

The executive producers of the documentary include Alex Soros, the son of billionaire George Soros.

Is this a counter narrative, or is this Malaysia thing a justification for regime change?

This is about controlling the narrative. The scandal was and is HUGE.. and now it's been touted as 'money laundering'... it's about far more than that as my link to the other post tries to point out.

It also follows the investigations conducted by journalists from publications such as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and The Hollywood Reporter, who worked to uncover the scandal.

Sure they did. People were picking up the story on international websites while it was being downplayed in the US.. When they could no longer contain the story up step our intrepid left media to 'come to the rescue'. Note that Jho Low was allowed to get away.

THIS IS ABOUT FAR MORE THAN MONEY LAUNDERING.
