Ben Anderson
Ben Anderson is the presenter of The World’s Toughest Tribes – a six-part television documentary series for Discovery Channel that focuses on unique modern day tribes.

He works in extreme conditions around the globe: from the searing heat of the Australian goldmines to the freezing waves of the Atlantic. Ben works alongside tunnellers who dig and lay pipelines beneath the San Diego desert and loggers who work in the remote forests of northern Canada.

A veteran reporter and presenter, in 2005, Ben reported for Frontline Football – six films for the BBC that followed national football teams beset by turmoil during the qualifying rounds of the World Cup. In the previous year, he was a reporter on Holidays in the Dangerzone - The Violent Coast. This four-part series for BBC2 focused on travelling along west Africa’s notoriously dangerous coast. Back in 2003, Ben was a reporter on Correspondent - Terror in South East Asia, which profiled Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s time in Manila with Ramsi Yousef, prior to September 11th.
