Marcela Gaviria is an award-winning filmmaker with RAINmedia in New York City. Over the last eight years she has produced 15 documentaries for FRONTLINE, including five films on postwar Iraq.

Working with longtime FRONTINE producer and correspondent Martin Smith, Gaviria has earned nearly every major award in broadcast journalism, including: the 2005 Emmy for their documentary The Storm; the prestigious 2003 duPont-Columbia Silver Baton for Truth, War, and Consequences; the 2002 duPont-Columbia Gold Baton for their post-9/11 films Looking for Answers and Saudi Time Bomb?; and an Emmy and a George Foster Peabody Award for the four-hour series Drug Wars. She is also the recipient of the 2008 Peter S. McGhee Fellowship, which honors an individual whose work reflects excellence, intelligence, fairness, passion and scholarship.

Gaviria's work for FRONTLINE has taken her to Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen, the Palestinian Territories, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Kuwait and Korea. Most recently, she made her sixth trip to Baghdad for Gangs of Iraq.

In 2007, she produced The Medicated Child, a documentary about the dramatic increase in the prescription of psychiatric drugs for children. This film is a sequel to a film she produced in 2000 titled Medicating Kids.

Before joining RAINmedia, Gaviria field-produced documentaries from Latin America for PBS and the BBC. She was born in Bogota, Colombia, and obtained her B.A. from Brown University and her M.A. from Columbia University.
