What People Are Saying
“In this unsettling documentary, an undercover campaigner is told by a psychiatrist in China that cold showers, jogging and electric shock therapy can ‘correct’ homosexuality”
— China’s Gay Shock Therapy reviewed in the Guardian
“Human Misery and Menace, Run Amok…disturbing, evidence of flawed responses to disasters of very different kinds.”

“Shaunagh Connaire and Wael Dabbous’s short film is a chilling and bleak one. It is also brave – there must have been some risk involved. And it is important”

About me
I’m an Emmy-nominated and duPont Columbia award-winning journalist and filmmaker. I regularly report on Channel 4’s critically acclaimed foreign affairs series Unreported World and their flagship show Dispatches. My work has taken me from the Ebola Zone in Sierra Leone to Iran where I reported on the country’s first ever Islamic online dating institute.
When I’m not in front of the camera for Channel 4, I’m producing and directing for other outlets, most notably David Beckham: For the Love of the Game which aired on BBC1. I also regularly produce debates alongside the World Economic Forum in Davos.
Before chasing my journalism dream, I trained as an accountant with KPMG in Dublin.
