This show has been repeated several times. It's "Westboro" by the way.
It has to be said, Louis Theroux isn't very good in this one. He barely has any intelligent questions, can't really probe them and the basic questions he did throw, they had easy counter reponses for. I do feel sorry for those kids, but Louis simply saying that "you're brainwashing them" is useless, when their response is "you've been brainwashed, you wouldn't understand." It's a circular argument and he had pretty much nothing to add.
So anyway, rubbish journalism/reporting by him, but an interesting watch nevertheless. Oh and they all figured Louis out pretty quick. He was called a smug, mocking snake, or something to that effect-- spot on. Louis has had better shows.
