theOscarSite Bio: A private investigator turned filmmaker, Rachel Grady has produced and directed a wide variety of documentaries for The Discovery Channel, the A&E Network and Britain's Channel 4. Previously, she focused on the erratic and complex New York criminal justice system for a special A&E series, "New York Justice." For that series, Rachel chronicled the lives of five overworked public defenders and also completed "Mad Justice," a verité documentary that looks at the troubling fate of mentally ill defendants and parolees. Rachel recently completed "TX," a first ever look at life inside drug rehabilitation. This eight-part series (for VH1) follows ten young adults as they battle to get off alcohol, heroin, crack and pills.

Grady is the co-founder of Loki Films with Heidi Ewing, where she co-produced and co-directed THE BOYS OF BARAKA (2005) and JESUS CAMP (2006).

Her father is novelist and screenwriter James Grady, who wrote the novel on which THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR (1975) was based.
