John Safran
Author and Documentary Maker
John Safran is an award-winning documentary-maker of provocative and hilarious takes on race, the media, religion and other issues. Safran first hit TV screens in 1997 on Race Around the World. Both John Safran’s Music Jamboree and John Safran vs. God won Australian Film Industry awards for Best Comedy Series and Most Original Concept, and were also nominated for Logie Awards.

Safran’s first book - Murder in Mississippi – is the true story of how he met a white supremacist and befriended his black killer. In his latest book - Depends What You Mean by Extremist - Safran attends a far-right rally in Melbourne and is led into a mad world of misfits, white nationalists, ISIS supporters and anarchists.
