Louis Theroux: America's Most Hated Family in Crisis
Return to the Most Hated Church in America
Directed by Emma Cooper
Produced by BBC
A probing documentary examination of religious extremism and cult dynamics, following a journalist's return visit to a fundamentalist family experiencing internal fracture.
Following up on his 2007 documentary, The Most Hated Family in America, Louis Theroux returns to Topeka, Kansas, for a week-long visit with the Westboro Baptist Church. He again joins the Phelps family on their controversial pickets where they try to antagonise communities with offensive slogans and anti-gay placards. But four years on from Louis's last visit, there are signs of disarray in the Phelps clan. A series of defections of family members has shaken up the church.
