What is wrong with white traditions that you want to embrace everyone else!
You are anti white obviously WHY?

Reckon it’s worth pointing out that the most recently aired program by LT in the UK was actually quite hard hitting. Usually his programs are put together to entertain, leave us gobsmacked by eccentricity. Even subjects like racism and religion, whilst always hitting ‘the mark’, are executed with Louis providing lighter touches through his approach and mannerisms which have been covered in previous comments.

However, in Law and Disorder in Philadelphia (another to be aired this weekend about South Africa), the tone is very and Theroux almost takes a complete backseat as the pictures and people take centre stage. Once or twice the ‘innocent abroad’ character comes out – but it’s used in a very different context – far more sombre.

Hope you get to see it

The two clips that come top in Google searches are not the best parts of the programmes, but they are good.

Yes, he’s very good, and not only in America he’s also made som great documentaries here in the UK.

In the US check out a programme he made in a Federal Prison (San Quentin probably) which was classic. He appraoches the hardest, imaginable tattooed american criminals and asks them ‘What are you in for?’ ‘Rape, eh? That’s not very nice’ and ‘Why do all the white prisoners keep separate from the black ones’

His USP is a kind of round-eyed naivity or haplessness that enables him to ask direct questions in a simple and unexpected way, and soemtimes yields some quite unexpected honesty from the interviewee.

I think that one embedded disadvantage of this method is that quick, sharp follow-ups are impossible: there would be a serious danger dropping the mask, stepping out-of-character and bursting the bubble that he has carefully created. He has to follow up sideways, and come back back to things later.

Theroux’s method is like this great quote from ‘Special Topics in Calamity Physics’ by Marisha Pessl

“one had to proceed as unobtrusively as possible when questioning a patient, because truth and secrets were cranes, dazzling in size yet notoriously shy and wary; if one made too much noise, they’d disappear into the sky, never to be seen again”
