Robert Campos is an award-winning journalist, writer, and documentary filmmaker, renowned for his exceptional work as a staff producer for ABC News, where he covered the devastating civil wars in Nicaragua and El Salvador.
As a prominent investigative journalist, Robert delved into the dark underbelly of America's meat processing industry, exposing contamination at the largest meat processors in the country for ABC's PrimeTime Live. His groundbreaking report, "Unkindest Cut," prompted a re-evaluation of the self-inspection plan that would have removed USDA inspectors from the meat processing lines, sending shockwaves throughout the industry.
Robert's poignant documentary about an underground colony of "sewer children" living beneath the streets of Bogota, Colombia, garnered international attention and support for the "Children of the Andes Foundation," ultimately leading to the liberation of street children from their squalid living conditions.
His courageous investigation into the slave trade that forced young boys from Haiti to cut sugar cane in the Dominican Republic earned Robert a National Emmy, a Peabody Award, and a Robert F. Kennedy Award for journalism, cementing his reputation as a fearless and dedicated journalist.
Robert co-founded Beanfield Productions with his wife and creative partner, Donna LoCicero, a company dedicated to telling authentic, organic stories that both entertain and inspire. The name Beanfield Productions is a nod to their surnames, with "Cicero" referencing a type of bean in Italian and "Campos" meaning "fields" in Spanish.
As a director and producer at Beanfield, Robert has crafted dozens of documentary films for prominent networks like the Discovery Channel, National Geographic, and others, tackling a wide range of topics, including shark conservation, green science, and history.
