Based in Zimbabwe, she has worked extensively in the Middle East on films like “Saddam’s Killing Fields” (Mayavision/Central) and “Exporting Evil” (ITN/Channel 5), and in West Africa on an Associated Press report about ethnic violence between Christians and Muslims. She has also worked on the acclaimed “In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great” (Mayavision/Channel 4) which swooped across the Middle East from Egypt to India, in China on “Three Gorges Dam” and “Lost Treasures of the Yangtze” (both by Discovery), and in Haiti on “A Pig’s Tale” (Channel 4). As a production assistant she was involved in J. Lee Thompson’s 1985 remake of “King Solomon’s Mines,” with Richard Chamberlain and Sharon Stone, marking the centenary of Haggard’s famous novel. In addition to MY NEIGHBOR MY KILLER, Frewin recently filmed and directed “Spreading the Word: On Tour with the Vagina Monologues” about that play’s reception in Botswana and Mozambique. She also lends her talent to top local and international news agencies, including SABC, AuBC, NHK, and Reuters.
