Synopsis
Operation Carwash (Polícia Federal: A Lei é Para Todos, 2017) is a Brazilian crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM, drawn from Lava Jato — the investigation that cracked open corruption at the top of the country.
It starts in 2013 in Curitiba, where a truck hauling palm hearts turns out to hide nearly 700 kilos of cocaine. That seizure hands federal commissioner Ivan Romano (Antonio Calloni) and his small team a thread they spend months pulling. A small-time money changer leads to a former Petrobras director, and he in turn points toward construction giants, party slush funds and politicians whose names every Brazilian knows. The closer they get, the more each interrogation can cost them.
Director Marcelo Antunez plays it as a tense procedural where paperwork beats gunfire, and since the real case was still moving through the courts when it premiered, it watches like a dispatch from the front line. Flávia Alessandra and Marcelo Serrado round out the cast. Stream Operation Carwash (2017) online on iFILM.
