Louis Theroux: The Settlers

Louis becomes witness to the hidden depravity, violence, oppression and inhumanity Palestinians face on a daily basis at the hand of 'The Settlers'. This is a brave, must-see documentary that lays bare the brutal reality of settler violence in the West Bank. Theroux's bold, confrontational style-especially when challenging figures like Daniella Weiss-exposes the raw aggression, sociopathy and systemic injustice Palestinians endure daily. The film's unflinching focus on the occupation's human toll, from stolen land to constant fear, is both heartbreaking and galvanizing, earning it high praise for its nuance and courage. Yet, it falls short by not amplifying Palestinian voices enough; settlers often dominate the narrative, and deeper historical context is missed. Still, The Settlers is a powerful wake-up call, demanding viewers confront the truth of Palestinian suffering. It's not perfect, but its impact is undeniable.

Excellent work from Louie yet again, it shows what a lot of people would not know about. It is hard to watch at times due to the mind boggling brainwashed people that he interviews, they really are delusional, however Louie remains neutral like the professional he is whilst speaking with them. He made some humorous comments throughout the programme which lightened the mood on the hard hitting documentary.

It is a must watch for a better understanding of what's going on, what you will see is definitely not what you would see on our news stations. Get behind it and spread the word.

I'm surprised the BBC aired it, as it is definitely not on side with their agenda.

Louis Theroux delivers a quiet but devastating look at Israeli settlers in the West Bank. Through calm, persistent questioning, he exposes the fanaticism, state protection, and apartheid-like conditions driving the occupation-without ever needing to raise his voice.

Theroux's strength is letting people reveal themselves. Settlers speak openly about their religious and political motives, and the absence of judgment makes their extremism hit harder. The contrast between armed settlers and vulnerable Palestinians speaks volumes.

This is a disturbing, essential documentary-one of Theroux's most powerful.

A masterpiece in revealing what it means to be a settler in the occupied West Bank, delivered with excellence from a storied documentarian.

For those unfamiliar with the geopolitics of the region, Louis meets some of the leading figures in the Israeli settler community gleefully explaining their actions that contravene international law.

Louis' understated style allows interviewees to tell on themselves and bring everything to the table with ease.

History will look upon this work as a light into the depraved ideology that is beset upon the people of Palestine.

If Louis' work needed a crowning jewel, this is it.

Outstanding documentary. Louis and team - thank you. This is so needed at this time. Very disturbing ideology captured so rawly and allowing people to express their ridiculous views without interruption and dig holes for themselves.

His interview style is always a hit. I have no idea how he composes himself amongst religious fanatics. But it allows us insight into what these people are telling themselves.

Many people might claim this documentary is biased - I would challenge that narrative and ask people to read up on history. Please watch this before we lose it. This is the type of journalism this world so desperately needs.
