description: "Carla Garapedian is a filmmaker, director, writer and broadcaster. She directed Children of the Secret State about North Korea and was an anchor for BBC World News. After leaving BBC World, she directed Dying for the President about Chechnya, Lifting the Veil, about women in Afghanistan, Iran Undercover and My Friend the Mercenary about the coup in Equatorial Guinea. Her feature, Screamers, was theatrically released in the U.S. in December 2006 and early 2007, and was on Newsweek's pick of non-fiction films for 2006/7. The Independent called it \"powerful\" and Larry King for CNN described it as \"a brilliant film. Everyone should see it.\" The New York Times deemed it \"invigorating and articulate,\" while the Los Angeles Times called it \"eye-opening.\" \"Carla Garapedian is a screamer, too,\" said the Washington Post."
