The Guardian develops and produces content for film and TV, with our journalism underpinning a range of successful documentary and drama projects.
We collaborate with major producers, talent and broadcasters to bring stories to the screen and reach audiences around the world. Guardian reporting has been adapted as major feature films, including in The Fifth Estate, Snowden and The King of Thieves, and for high-profile television series, including The Salisbury Poisonings.
Guardian documentaries continue to win widespread acclaim, with our film Colette winning the Oscar for Best Short Documentary in 2021 and Black Sheep nominated in 2019.
We also partner with producers to adapt stories for stage, as with A Very Expensive Poison’s sold out run at the Old Vic.
Our journalism, expertise and access is uniquely positioned for adaptation across all forms of media, inspiring storytellers to work with the Guardian. We are open to exploring licensing and co-production opportunities, where appropriate.
