Dee McLachlan

I've had a career as a filmmaker, screenwriter, journalist, author, and humanitarian.  I began as an editor of weekly cinema newsreels in South Africa, the country of my birth, and went on to direct eight feature films in Africa, Sri Lanka, the Americas, and Australia (including Tristar’s The Second Jungle Book, and Running Wild -- Brooke Shields, Martin Sheen). I'm probably most known for my thriller, The Jammed, exposing sex-trafficking in Melbourne. The film won numerous awards and was revered by critics (Film bio). I have extensive experience in screenwriting, adapting stories to screen, and journalism. I founded Gumshoe News in 2013 (writing over 500 of the 3,600 articles); have written five children's books (e.g., The People Who Refused to be Sheeple) and co-authored and authored several books. My latest book, The Child Protection Racket,  is about state legalized child trafficking.
