Louis Theroux is a journalist for BBC2, who travels around the world interviewing people and making fairly short documentaries about people who are just out of the norm. Although this sounds pretty clean cut, it is far from it. This category of "out of the norm" includes Nazis, Black Supremacists, UFO hunters, brothels, rap, homophobes, and just about everything else you could think of. Some of these end up being very dangerous for Louis, since in several of these he deals with people who are against what he is. For example, in the Black Supremacist episode, he is obviously white, and in the Meets The Nazi episode, Louis reveals that he is Jewish, and he gets close to a fight with a skinhead. Although what I just said basically makes you think that this is a guy going around saying how stupid other peoples beliefs are, he isn't. In fact, what I like most about Louis (pronounced loo-ee, not lewis) is that he lets the absurdity speak for itself. Anyways, I'll just let the videos speak for him.
