Ben Steele spent the first months of World War II fighting on the Bataan Peninsula in the Philippines. When American forces on Bataan were surrendered, Steele was one of tens of thousands of American and Filipino troops forced to go on the Bataan Death March. He spent the next three and a half years as a POW. He survived the infamous “death ships” and ultimately ended the war working in a Japanese coal mine about 80 miles from Hiroshima.
After the war, Steele became a critically acclaimed artist of the American West, but the Bataan Death March and the labor camps were never far from his mind. As he came to terms with his POW experience, he began to draw from memory. Many of these sketches are now preserved at the MacArthur Memorial.
This is his story.

Ben Steele (British)
The Children Who Beat Ebola
Shot in January - April 2015, Sierra Leone
Blakeway TV Productions for Channel 4 Dispatches
This is an intimate insight into life after the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. The story is told from the perspective of five children living through and surviving the crisis. Filmed over four months, Ben followed events in these children's lives from the time the infection rate peaked in Sierra Leone, filming with families in quarantine and as family members succumbed to the disease.
We then see the point the virus is brought under control and schools reopen, and Ben shows us how the children start to come to terms with their loss and stigma, start to rebuild their lives and look to the future.
