Renowned Ghanaian undercover journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas has signed an exclusive two-year deal with the Emmy, BAFTA, and Peabody award-winning production company Insight TWI: The World Investigates.<\/p>\n
Insight and Anas have previously collaborated on award-winning documentaries for Al Jazeera English, in which Anas\u2019 exposes included the Tanzanian trade in albino limbs, money laundering in the Seychelles Islands, murder-for-hire of Ghanaian children, and high-level corruption in Sierra Leone.<\/p>\n
Anas, a private detective and barrister who has never shown his face in public, is renowned globally for his undercover skills. He delivered a headline TED Talk in San Francisco last year called \u201cHow I Named, Shamed, and Jailed\u201d and was praised by U.S. President Barack Obama in 2009 as \u201ca courageous journalist who risked his life to tell the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n
Anas joins Emmy-winning Sierra Leonean journalist Sorious Samura to cover Africa for Insight. The International Press Institute praised Samura and Anas this year as \u201ckings of investigative reporting in Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will continue to work with Anas to name, shame, and jail bad guys around the world and to produce award-winning investigations for broadcasters and online,\u201d said Samura.<\/p>\n
Insight\u2019s Editor-in-Chief, Ron McCullagh, said the deal sets the stage for a major production effort focused on local investigative journalists around the world. \u201cAnas spearheaded Africa Investigates, which we produced for Al Jazeera English,\u201d said McCullagh. \u201cHe\u2019s a potent player and we have big plans together. Soon you\u2019ll be hearing about The World Investigates.\u201d<\/p>\n
