John Safran recounts his time squatting in a celebrity’s abandoned mansion. On the page and on the small screen, John Safran is known for pushing boundaries – his own, other people’s and society’s – to examine big questions about life and belief from an utterly original perspective.
The writer and filmmaker’s new book, Squat, recounts his stranger-than-fiction experience travelling to Los Angeles and squatting at a well-known celebrity’s mansion (identity to be revealed). With the celebrity’s promotion of Hitler as a kick-off point, Safran explores threads of Jewishness, identity and belonging – topics that couldn’t hit closer to home.
In conversation with host Mahmood Fazal, Safran will delve into the absurdity and profundity of squatting amidst luxury.
