Louis Theroux Returning To The West Bank For Latest BBC Documentary

Louis Theroux is returning to the West Bank for his latest documentary.
In a BBC show titled Louis Theroux: The Settlers, the documentarian will travel to the disputed territory 15 years on from his doc The Ultra-Zionists.
There, he will meet some of the large and growing ultra-nationalist community of Israeli settlers. The settlements are held to be illegal under international law yet they have been protected by the army, the police, and the Israeli government for years. Since the devastating Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7 when 1,200 Israelis were killed and circa-250 kidnapped, the settlers have been emboldened to expand their areas of control by pursuing a campaign of violence and forced expulsion against local Palestinian communities.
The BBC said Theroux will “embed himself in the West Bank,” meeting prominent settlers and travelling around the territory in a similar vein to much of his previous work. His indie, Mindhouse, is producing.
