MS4 - Text, Industry & Audience: Louis Theroux (Audience/Industry)

Watch Louis Theroux talk about his documenatry career interviewing extremists, addicts and celebrities in a live interview at Brighton Documentary Festival.


In this exclusive interview Theroux explores his approach by affirming the necessity for any journalist to assert a posture of assumed ignorance. He goes on to explain how he applies this style to each of his subject, whether it be oddball celebrity or deranged fanatic.

Theroux also talks about the responsibilities and complexities that come with dealing with extreme views and presenting them in an acceptable and often lighthearted or comic style.
