Recent press

The Financial Times back page article "Forbidden's fruit finally starts to ripen" reflects the response Forbidden has had at IBC. NMA reports on our new FORlive product. Shares magazine points out that "You can inspect the quality of Forbidden's video on its website ... Compared to one or two years ago, the improvement is dramatic". In a separate article, they note we are at a 52 week high and say "... but any pullback in the share price should be viewed as a buying opportunity".
