Jeff B. Harmon (Born December 31, 1953) is an award-winning American film director, writer and producer. He is also an actor, photographer and song writer. As a journalist and war correspondent, he penetrated the Nazi underground in Paraguay while searching for Dr. Josef Mengele, right-wing death squads in El Salvador, covered Emperor Bokassa's coronation, the fall of Idi Amin, the war in Afghanistan (from both the Mujahideen and Soviet sides), and Saddam Hussein's Iraq. Working as an independent filmmaker together with British cameraman, Alexander Lindsay, in 1989 Harmon completed his Afghan Trilogy, which included the documentaries "Jihad", "Afgan" and "Warlord of Kayan". ............Critics called Harmon's 1996 low-budget satiric musical comedy "Isle of Lesbos" a cross between "The Rocky Horror Picture Show and The Wizard of Oz" [1]. It portrayed a closet lesbian who reaches the point of desperation on her wedding day in her redneck hometown of Bumfuck Arkansas, shoots herself and is instantly sucked through her mirror and into a lesbian fantasy land. When her enraged parents try to get her back, the Sisters at the Isle of Lesbos put up a fight. The film premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival. Harmon wrote, produced and directed a variety series for Brazilian television "O Circo De Bozo" which was broadcast live to evoke the heyday of 1950's television. This series won two Brazilian Emmys. His writings and photographs have been published in various periodicals including Life Magazine, Harper's, Sunday Times (UK), Independent (UK) Magazine, National Geographic, Newsweek, U.S. News & World Report,Penthouse Magazine, Gallery, Icon and The Daily Telegraph.
