Louis Theroux: America's Most Hated Family in Crisis
The reporter returns to Topeka, Kansas, to visit the Westboro Baptist Church, a notoriously homophobic organisation run by the Phelps family, whose activities he first documented in a 2007 film. On arrival, he discovers the members of the Church now regard him as a hate figure after watching his original documentary - and finds that increased scrutiny from the outside world has led to their practices becoming increasingly bizarre. He also meets two women who left the Church, and learns how their decision led to them being ostracised by their parents
Louis Theroux: America's Most Hated Family in Crisis airs on U&W at 10:20 PM, Wednesday 2 April. (Subtitles, audio description.)
