Johno is a former rock drummer who escaped a life of violence in Melbourne’s northern suburbs to pursue his passion for music in a number of successful pub bands. Once an illegal drug abuser, he eventually joined a Christian hard rock band and discovered faith in a forgiving God.

Produced by Melbourne based Producer Vic Campbell and Directed by Don Parham, ‘Forgiven People’ tells the story of three colourful Australians who speak candidly about their dark past and their spiritual journeys towards a more positive lifestyle.

Vic Campbell was the winner of SPARC/CTA’s second annual Program Development Prize which was set up to encourage new producers to create compelling Christian programming.
