I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
least smarmy brit
(nothing against him)
one of the best things he does in this is give that insane settlerite leader lady a microphone and asking her about settler violence repeatedly, until he can end the doc with footage of her actually demonstrating physically how insane this makes zionists. also repeatedly showing how just hanging out with a Palestinian man justified getting constantly harassed by the IOF. all-in-all, probably a great thing to be airing on bbc television, they will probably get insane threats for him asking settlers basic question about what violent illegal psychopaths they are.
Louis was always good at this, just by being a disarming and shy nerd and giving others a platform to speak he's able to get so much out of people
Louis Theroux previously made a documentary about the West Bank in 2011 titled "Louis Theroux: The Ultra Zionists".
There is a certain style to Louis Theroux documentaries. The documentaries are often about people who are very bad and Louis always presents himself as a neutral observer to the people that he interviews.
You may not learn anything new from this documentary. This documentary will however, have quite a large audience. It is being aired on the BBC public television.
In this documentary he travels around the West Bank and is harassed by multiple different IOF militants, they even point guns at Louis. The documentary shows the audience that the IOF and Israeli settlers are very bad people.
I've watched many Louis Theroux movies and I've enjoyed many of them a lot.

seems like this person uploaded the whole movie on a tweet. I expect that BBC is copyright claiming people who reupload. BBC is funded by UK tax dollars and if you live in the UK, you can watch it for free on the BBC iPlayer. BBC tends to try to prevent people outside the UK from watching their content. if that tweet goes down, check filesharing sites or something if you are savvy.
What are your favorite documentaries of his?
the one where he raps
my money don't jiggle jiggle, it folds
I wanna see you wiggle wiggle, for sure
The whole Weird Weekends series from 1999 is pretty good. Episode 3 is about pornstars, part of it is about a heterosexual man who stars in gay porn as a job, they call it "gay for pay".
In 2007, he made a documentary about the Westboro Baptist Church. This is a church which is infamous for picketing the funerals of US soldiers and saying that claiming that god kills US soldiers because the US supports homosexuality.
Another 2007, he made a documentary about bourgies gambling in Las Vegas. There's a guy who owns a mattress company and he goes to Vegas and feeds all of his profits into slot machines.
In 2011, he made a 2 part documentary about a "megajail" in Miami. In the US, a jail is different than a prison, in that a jail is a place where suspected criminals are held before trial and a prison is a place. It's a massive facility of people who have been charged but not convicted. Louis interviews the inmates.
In 2015, Louis made a documentary about transgender kids. He interviews children with gender dysphoria in California who are receiving gender affirming care and also interviews some transgender adults. The movie shows transgender people positively.
In 2016, he made a documentary about severe alcoholics in the UK.
In 2022, he made a documentary about internet neo-nazis which featured Nick Fuentes and Baked Alaska.
These are a few that I have watched which were pretty good. I'm not sure about a favorite. He's made dozens. What I like about his documentary style is he mostly asks people questions and let's people speak for themselves.
Louis and the Nazis, and the Westboro Baptist Church one i remember being very good
