Louis Theroux: A Journey Through His Top 20 Documentaries – From Savile and Scientology to Prisons and Painkillers
Known for his unique, immersive journalistic approach, Louis Theroux has fearlessly tackled subjects ranging from wrestling until he vomits to posing for adult photos. Now, he's set to delve into the manosphere for Netflix. This retrospective celebrates the interviewer's most compelling and often jaw-dropping shows.

With nearly 100 BBC titles to his name, Theroux is now transitioning to Netflix. His inaugural program for the streaming giant, "Inside the Manosphere," promises to explore the men's rights movement and contemporary masculinity in the highly connected digital age.
