I love Louis Theroux


Louis Theroux is a documentary filmmaker for the BBC. His work contains unreported issues that had been ignored by the media. What makes his documentary so interesting and entertaining to watch is how he casually approaches people. He does not approach his interviewee formally but talks to them like a friend. He’s never biased. He keeps himself liberal and is always calm, even if he is being threatened. He talks to his viewers as if they are part in the search into finding why that party has that view. It’s quite intriguing and original. He makes finding boring information about people quite entertaining. It opens windows to people who have not explored or yet come across by the topic. It keeps them aware and at the same time gain knowledge from the information that Louis provides. One of my favourite - Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends Series two 'Black Nationalism' and Louis and the Nazi.
