Film Maker. War Correspondent and Speaker

Working as an investigative journalist I've uncovered fraud, racism and corruption in countries across the world. 

In fact I won two Royal Television Society awards for my investigative work at Channel 4 News - 'Uncovering corruption in the Olympic Games' filmed in Salt Lake City and 'Racism in South African rugby’ that included an exclusive interview with a whistleblower, the Springbok's own spin doctor.

I went undercover for an investigation into British data theft in Indian call centres posing as a business woman who wanted to set up her own centre. Our documentary for Channel 4's Dispatches landed those responsible in court. I also produced a fast-turnaround one hour special after the Paris ISIS attacks for Channel News Asia and fronted two hour long films into THE RISE OF ISIL for Al Jazeera in 2015.

My series of films into fake voting cards in the Afghan elections ruffled a few feathers as did reports on Ukranian security officers dragging injured activists out of their hospital beds or dumping badly beaten journalists in frozen temperatures in the middle of nowhere to die.

 

But there has to be a lighter side to the job sometimes like the last Lada's rolling off the production line in Moscow or pizza deliveries to the Libyan frontlines...
