Fiona Lloyd-Davies

Award-winning filmmaker & photojournalist, Fiona Lloyd-Davies has been making films and taking pictures about human rights issues in areas of conflict since 1992. She is known for her integrity, innovation and passion.

Fiona came to this genre through an ad hoc trip to Bosnia in the first few months of the war in 1992. It led to her working with Clive Gordon on his BAFTA winning documentary The Unforgiving. She continued working in Bosnia throughout the war and after the peace, and it triggered her passion for exposing human rights issues and bringing stories from areas of conflict to a wider audience.

She was one of the first journalists to expose the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war  against the civilian population in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).  Over the last thirty years Fiona has worked for many broadcasters and NGO’s focussing on exposing human rights and supporting survivors. She’s been awarded two Royal Television Society Awards, the first for a film about honour killing in Pakistan, Licence to Kill for BBC2’s Correspondent programme, and the second for a series of short films (22) with Salam Pax the Baghdad Blogger for BBC2’s Newsnight, and her work has received many other nominations. She is founder of Studio 9 Films Ltd.
