Biography

The award winning documentary film director and producer, Susan Morgan Cooper, grew up in a tiny village in Wales where her parents produced plays to raise money for charity. Shortly after arriving in America, she landed a small role in a Clint Eastwood film, but found film editing more fascinating than acting.

In 1991, when Susan met a 16-year-old girl from Croatia, displaced by The Balkan War, she felt compelled to make her first documentary, Mirjana- One Girl's Journey. She went on to produce and direct a documentary television series called Heroes and Sheroes about ordinary people doing extraordinary things for others. Afterwards she spent three months filming in Tuscany The Making Of Shadows in the Sun, directed by Brad Mirman with Harvey Keitel, Joshua Jackson, Claire Forlani and Giancarlo Giannini .

Susan then made the highly acclaimed, award-winning documentary, An Unlikely Weapon. It was the story of Pulitzer Prize Winning Photographer, Eddie Adams, who's Saigon Execution photo was credited with helping end the Vietnam War. The Hollywood Reporter called it 'a terrific documentary'.

Susan then went to China to direct and produce Mulberry Child, a film that traces a present day mother and daughter's emotional disconnect back to Mao's Cultural Revolution. Roger Ebert called Mulberry Child 'a powerful and touching film' and gave it three and a half stars.

With Cass Warner, Susan wrote and produced a documentary HOPPER: In His Own Words about the iconic actor Dennis Hopper.

Susan's latest film, To the Moon and Back, is the story behind the Russian Adoption Ban and it's impact on the lives of hundreds of American families and thousands of Russian orphans. Huffington Post calls the award-winning film a 'highly evocative exposé'.

Susan is in post-production on Fatal Distraction, a documentary about an innocent father sentenced to life without parole after police fuel misinformation and the media incites the public.

She is also in pre-production on a narrative feature film , East L.A. Kings. Based on the real life events of a cop who takes a group of troubled boys off the streets through the P.A.L. program and turns them into a championship roller hockey team.
