Summary
Peter’s photojournalism, video adventures, and radio reporting have been broadcast on National Geographic TV’s Explorer, NPR’s Radio Expeditions, and Monitor Radio, as well as published in Asian Wall Street Journal, Asia Week, The L.A. Times, Tokyo Journal, National Geographic Traveler, and the in-flight magazines of ANA, Cathay, JAL, Korean Air, and United airlines. In 2021, Peter bicycled from Beijing to Hong Kong – again – following the same route as his original 1994 cycling journey. Now it’s a 4-part documentary TV series “Cycling Across China with Peter Crosby” airing on China Global Television Network (CGTN), Bytedance Videos, and broadcast on National Geographic TV/Asia, for which he was Exec. Producer, Co-Director, Photographer, and Host. But Peter found his return to America alarming and sad; Covid’s toll, mass shootings, ongoing racism, fear of China, even an insurrection. The USA no longer felt like home. So, in 2022, he bought an RV and traveled the heartland of America reacquainting himself with his homeland and recording local life. From our nation’s east coast founding to our Civil War, from 9/11 memorials to the transcontinental railroad, he filmed heated arguments, protesting 18-wheel drivers, motorcycle rallies, and the singing of ‘Amazing Grace’ with evangelicals in Georgia. Dragon boating with Chinese-Americans, filming Native America rodeos, even biking through forest fire smog, Peter strove to create dialogue and empathy with those he didn't quite understand. “Oh My Beautiful Country“ is his long-form series that’s out now: https://youtu.be/GU5vFjXHIng?feature=shared Born in the USA, Peter has visited 70+ countries and lived/worked in China, Japan, and Southern Africa, so he can make people laugh in several languages. He’s also led for-profit, nonprofit, and social benefit organizations as a CEO/COO/CTO in media, translations, women’s empowerment, and international refugee aid. Peter considers himself a Man of Mission: global vision, local lifestyles, universal heart.
