NEW SOUTH WALES
Kris Flanders
Kris was born in Sydney and is also a proud Gumbaynggirr man from Coffs Harbour in northern NSW. Kris has been with Living Black since it's inception in 2003.
Kris joined SBS in 1996, as a Production Assistant in the Indigenous Media Unit, he is now one of the senior producers and has covered many in-depth stories on Indigenous issues.
As a video journalist, filming his own stories, Kris has produced pieces from all over the country and covered all sorts of issues. These include a story on the Queensland community of Cherbourg and their battle to combat volatile substance abuse amongst the youth, as well as a feature on Hepatitis C and its high prevalence amongst the Indigenous community. Both of these stories were rewarded with media awards.
Kris also has a particular talent for profile stories, and has profiled rugby league star and role model Preston Campbell and new singing sensations Microwave Jenny.
Kris looks forward to another series of Living Black and sees video journalism as an innovative form of reporting, a way to get in-depth stories from Indigenous communities at an intimate level. He hopes the program will continue to educate and entertain people about indigenous issues.
