AWARDS + REVIEWS

The Independent
2023

"Perhaps the most astonishing scene in Man on the Run is its interview with Najib Razak while he was still prime minister of Malaysia."

The Daily Mail
2023

"A new documentary titled Man On The Run - set to be released in cinemas next Friday - has delved into his fraud. The documentary is the culmination of years of digging into Low and his associates..."

The Sun
2023

"It has taken years of digging by British investigative journalist Clare Rewcastle Brown and America’s FBI to uncover Low’s trail of corruption, which is believed to amount to more than £3.5BILLION and has added to his nation’s crippling debt."

The Hollywood Reporter
2023

“In the new documentary 'Man on the Run,' the 1MDb scandal and how a corrupt group of co-conspirators came together to pull off one of the biggest frauds in history is unravelled.”
