| + | == The world of John Safran == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>John Safran, an Australian documentary maker who combines comedy and cutting observation, is a legend. | ||
| + | |||
| + | He has made some of the best TV I've seen - including door-knocking Mormons and talking to holocaust-denier David Irving. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Not adverse to extremes he even got crucified to make a point. That was for a series called Race Relations, though some said he went too far. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The series focussed on the fact he's Jewish, and what that really means. | ||
| + | |||
| + | At one stage, he tries - in his words - to "de-Jew" himself. | ||
| + | |||
| + | He described the ceremony in the Philippines as "a de-Jewing so severe, no modern Jew has thought to do it." | ||
| + | |||
| + | Until he came along. | ||
| + | |||
| + | After that series aired Safran returned to his Jewish neighbourhood in Melbourne to find that the community wasn't happy. | ||
| + | |||
| + | "I am out having a drink and this girl comes up to me and I think she wants to talk to me,<b>[http://swargaranischool.com/newjus_invcerm.html Cheap Authentic New York Giants Jerseys For Sale]</b>, and then she just starts screaming at me about Race Relations, at this rooftop bar, and everyone is looking at me and yeah that really drove me to Mississippi," he says. | ||
| + | |||
| + | He went to Mississippi to write his first novel. | ||
| + | |||
| + | No TV crew, just him,<b>[http://swargaranischool.com/newjus_invcerm.html Cheap Authentic New York Giants Jerseys On Sale]</b>, a pen and paper. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You see,[http://music.nenu.edu.cn/syqjpk/upload/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=8521997 Three men charged over Taupo stabbing], in a previous doco series, he'd met Richard Barrett - a man in his 60s, who claimed he was the founder of the American skinhead movement. | ||
| + | |||
| + | A man John found to be quite unpleasant. | ||
| + | |||
| + | "[He was] very unpleasant. Not so much because he was a white supremacist, but because he was a lawyer," says Safran. | ||
| + | |||
| + | He then pulled a stunt for his TV series where he got a saliva sample from Richard Barrett and got it DNA tested. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Then he spoke at one of their big meetings and dropped this bombshell: | ||
| + | |||
| + | "There's no easy way to say this but you have African DNA," said Safran. | ||
| + | |||
| + | "I did all that and he wasn't happy so he started legal action against the ABC,[http://bbs.qihangsp.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=3182998 Lydia Ko files petition with LPGA to turn pro], my network, and we could never put it to air so that was that." | ||
| + | |||
| + | Except it wasn't. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Back in Melbourne, Safran read that Richard Barrett had been murdered by a young black man. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Safran realised that while his TV stunt had failed he now had a great topic for a book: finding the motive for a murder - one that may not have been to do with race at all, but, possibly,<b>[http://lampit.in/product.html Patriots Jerseys Sale]</b>, sex. | ||
| + | |||
| + | "It just shows if you're an artist, you should just strive ahead and while Donkey Kong is throwing barrels at you, and you have to jump and figure out a way - so I guess that is what this book is really." | ||
