About
Clover Films is recognised as a leading documentary production house, with over thirty prestigious awards won in the last decade alone. Its films and series, covering history, conflict, social injustice, human rights and the politics of sport, have been shown on over 50 channels across the globe. We have been honoured on two occasions by the United Nations for our work exposing the plight of exploited children in the Developing World, where laws have been changed to increase their protection as a result.
Clover’s style and content is driven by the belief that each and every production must attract a major audience… that preaching to the converted is a waste of time and effort. With a cluster of Emmys, DuPont Columbias (the television equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize), the Peabody, FIGRA, the Edward R Murrow Award and many more, films like ‘The Dancing Boys of Afghanistan’, Believe Me - The Cyprus Rape Case’, ‘STARMAN: the truth behind the legend of Yuri Gagarin’, ‘Opium Brides’, ‘2001 - The Making of a Myth’, ‘The Boy Who Started the Syrian War’ and ‘Transgenders - Pakistan’s Open Secret’ have taken an alternative, cutting-edge approach to issues facing the world today.
Recent series such as ‘The Sword and the Shield’ (2019) and ‘The Fans Who Make Football’ (2021) have exposed the frightening power of Russia’s security service on the one hand, and the growing frustration and political activism of football fans on the other.
With a populist yet scrupulous approach to filmmaking, the output has consistently resulted in strong viewing figures and credible critique, including a description from critic Victor Lewis Smith: “television at its finest”.
