Many of the board members participated in the production and promotion of the Clarion Fund's critically-acclaimed films, Obsession and The Third Jihad, as well as the upcoming production, Iranium.

"The impressive backgrounds of our advisory board members demonstrate the credibility of Clarion's documentary filmmaking efforts over the past 5 years," said Shore.
