Ross "Crazy" Kemp

Watching TV last night, I stumbled across a show called "Ross Kemp On Gangs". Before long I realised that this man was possibly the craziest, risk-taking, committed, best damn journalist I had ever seen. He has been all over the world, infiltrating some of the most dangerous and violent gangs on the planet.

London, Moscow, Kenya, South Africa, Poland, East Timor: these are just some of the places Kemp has explored and revealed the nature of some their citizens. He joins the Neo-nazis of Moscow and learns about their racial attacks. He interviews high leaders of the Mungiki gang in Kenya, labelled as the most dangerous outfit in Africa. Leaders who were ambushed and killed by the secret police just two weeks after Kemp's departure. He interviews the notorious Polish football club gangs - gangs who beat to death any opposing gang member on sight.

Kemp has won a BAFTA for the series and risked his life many times for the sake of investigative journalism. Not only does he provide great entertainment, but he gives a good insight into what some humans are capable of. If anyone wishes to keep up with his activity, here is a link to his twitter:
