About Clover Films

Clover Films is an award-winning documentary film production company with a reputation for credible, intelligent and popular journalism. Although our range is broad, we specialise in the area of international current affairs.

Clover Films brings together an enormously talented group dedicated to producing, as Victor Lewis Smith (TV critic of the London Evening Standard) described just one of our films: “television at its finest”. Award-winning directors, journalists and cameramen, internationally-known human rights activists and best-selling authors all contribute to ensuring that this company continues to be recognised as a credible and entertaining voice in the world of television.

Fergus

Fergus, our Chief of Security, has seven years experience tackling the very toughest postmen, policemen and anyone else in a uniform. Infamous throughout our region, his credentials are such that it is illadvised to argue with him.

Jinky
