Greg Barker produced, wrote, and directed FRONTLINE's epic two-hour 2004 special Ghosts of Rwanda -- the culmination of six years of interviews and research into the social, political, and diplomatic failures that converged in the 1994 genocide that killed 800,000 Rwandans. The Boston Globe called the film "riveting, appalling television ... one of [FRONTLINE's] most powerful programs in years" and the film won honors including the duPont-Columbia Silver Baton, the Sidney Hillman Award, a Banff Television Festival Award, and a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award. Barker's other projects for FRONTLINE include Campaign Against Terror (2002), which recounts the behind-the-scenes story of the U.S. and world response to 9/11, and The Survival of Saddam (2000), an examination of Saddam Hussein. For the fourth hour of FRONTLINE's News War series (2007), Barker traveled to the Middle East to examine the rise of Arab satellite TV channels and the growing influence of Al Jazeera.

Barker produced, directed and wrote The New Rules of the Game, which aired as part of the PBS documentary series Commanding Heights: The Battle for the World Economy. He received an Emmy nomination for his directing achievement on the series and an International Documentary Association Award for the PBS series Red Files. Prior to his career in filmmaking, Barker was a broadcast journalist in more than 40 countries, filing reports from Yugoslavia, Northern Ireland, Rwanda and the Gulf War for Reuters, ITN, CNN, BBC, and others.
