Garapedian’s strong academic background – she holds a PhD in international relations – has transpired the work she has been conducting as a producer, director and correspondent based in Britain. She has exposed the brutal treatment of women in Afghanistan in Lifting the Veil, Russian war crimes in Chechnya in Dying of a President and the links between Mark Thatcher, mercenary Simon Mann and the failed coup in Equatorial Guinea. Her quest for truth has also led her to Zimbabwe (clandestinely), North Korea and Iran. Screamers won the coveted Audience Award at the AFI Film Festival in Los Angeles in November 2006.
