Bruce Parry
A former Royal Marine Commando, Bruce has become a household name through his three BBC series about indigenous peoples, called Tribe, which has been shown in over thirty countries. More recently, his 8-month journey and hard-hitting six part series about the Amazon was an instant success with over 3 million viewers. Bruce's career with the BBC started when he took a friend and a camera off to New Guinea Island to climb a little known mountain in order to escape the expected anti-climax of the millennium celebrations. The subsequent documentary won awards around the world and was bought by the BBC One series 'Extreme Lives'. In October 2008, Bruce promoted both the Amazon series and the Amazon book to phenomenal acclaim alongside a fundraising album that he put together for Survival International (Bruce Parry presents Amazon Tribe: Songs for Survival).
