Louis Theroux (http://www.louistheroux.co.uk/) is a British filmmaker, and he's fucking brilliant.

Someone posted a link to one of his documentaries about "The Most Hated Family in America (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4413388146858417528)" -- and from there I was addicted.. I've watched about 8 so far.. anyway check him out:

Louis is great. I'm a big fan.

I think I've seen everything he's presented on TV.

PirateBay had a couple of torrents that covered all of his docu's quite recently. If there's no seed, send me a PM, ideally with your IP so I can dedicate some bandwidth. Of course, I recommend you buy the available DVD's, but for the unavailable episodes it's the only way :)

His book was pretty good, too. I'm into that kind of subcultures thing. Jon Ronson, etc. Watching and listening to Jon Ronson present can be a little painful, though. His voice is a little grating. He doesn't have the innocent-but-really-not way of asking questions that Louis does.

Anyway. The guy's a legend. Maybe even my favourite celebrity. :)

He is interesting, and I like his documentaries. However in "The Most Hated Family in America" he was just shite. Actually I dont think it that his fault, the familiy were unwilling/unable to consider even the remotest possibility that they were wrong, so his questions never really got anywhere. My fav documentary was one of his Weird Weekends when he went to meet the Aryan Nation militias in the US.

the bodybuilding one was funny, so is the almost heaven one, about the americans who created a community in the mountains ready for a civil war, waiting for a chance to meet the government in battle,

both of them are linked above in my first post,


peace.
