Clarion Project Information

Clarion Project is a non-profit organization dedicated to reducing the threats of violent extremism to create a safer world for all. Our research and education serve as critical tools for confronting and countering extremism of all kinds. Our mission began with documentary filmmaking—using primary sources, original translations, and unfiltered material to show audiences what extremist ideology actually looks like. That work reached millions and shaped understanding at a critical moment. Documentary work taught us how propaganda functions and how narratives radicalize. Those skills became foundational when the battlefield moved online. As extremist networks migrated to online platforms, threats began forming in real time—largely unseen and unchallenged. At that point, telling the story after the fact stopped being sufficient. Clarion adapted because the mission required it. That evolution led to the creation of the Clarion Intelligence Network, a research initiative dedicated to understanding how violent extremist movements form, communicate, and evolve. Our team of experienced analysts, researchers, and subject-matter experts study extremist ecosystems to identify patterns, narratives, recruitment tactics, and behaviors that can escalate into real-world harm. Same mission. Different execution.
