John Safran vs God
*John Safran vs God* is an eight-part television documentary series created by John Safran, which aired on SBS TV in Australia in 2004. According to a media release, it was described as "John Safran's most audacious project yet." The series marked a shift in tone from Safran's earlier work *Music Jamboree*, adopting a more serious approach. The show was produced by Ghost of Your Ex-Boyfriend Productions and SBS Independent, co-written with Mark O'Toole, directed by Craig Melville, and produced by Selin Yaman. It won the 2005 Australian Film Institute Award for Best Comedy Series. The opening theme is "Hate Priest" by the band Mozart on Crack. The opening sequence features John Safran in a black suit emerging from a patch of black scorched earth with his bare hands during a thunderstorm. The words "when the thousand years are over Satan will be released from his prison" are spoken in a low, pseudo-ominous voice.
