Louis Theroux: The Most Hated Family in America
“Meet the Westboro Baptist Church”
Documentary
Louis meets the Phelps family — the people at the heart of the controversial Westboro Baptist Church. The Phelps have rabid anti-homosexual beliefs, and often campaign at the funerals of American soldiers. They believe that every tragedy in the world is God's punishment for homosexuality.
VIBE
This documentary feels like a deeply uncomfortable, yet essential, peek behind the curtain of fervent belief. It's a confrontational and sobering experience that challenges your perceptions of faith and family, leaving you with much to ponder.
