  • The whole Weird Weekends series from 1999 is pretty good. Episode 3 is about pornstars, part of it is about a heterosexual man who stars in gay porn as a job, they call it “gay for pay”.

    In 2007, he made a documentary about the Westboro Baptist Church. This is a church which is infamous for picketing the funerals of US soldiers and saying that claiming that god kills US soldiers because the US supports homosexuality.

    Another 2007, he made a documentary about bourgies gambling in Las Vegas. There’s a guy who owns a mattress company and he goes to Vegas and feeds all of his profits into slot machines.

    In 2011, he made a 2 part documentary about a “megajail” in Miami. In the US, a jail is different than a prison, in that a jail is a place where suspected criminals are held before trial and a prison is a place. It’s a massive facility of people who have been charged but not convicted. Louis interviews the inmates.

    In 2015, Louis made a documentary about transgender kids. He interviews children with gender dysphoria in California who are receiving gender affirming care and also interviews some transgender adults. The movie shows transgender people positively.

    In 2016, he made a documentary about severe alcoholics in the UK.

    In 2022, he made a documentary about internet neo-nazis which featured Nick Fuentes and Baked Alaska.

    These are a few that I have watched which were pretty good. I’m not sure about a favorite. He’s made dozens. What I like about his documentary style is he mostly asks people questions and let’s people speak for themselves.




  • Louis Theroux previously made a documentary about the West Bank in 2011 titled “Louis Theroux: The Ultra Zionists”.

    There is a certain style to Louis Theroux documentaries. The documentaries are often about people who are very bad and Louis always presents himself as a neutral observer to the people that he interviews.

    You may not learn anything new from this documentary. This documentary will however, have quite a large audience. It is being aired on the BBC public television.

    In this documentary he travels around the West Bank and is harassed by multiple different IOF militants, they even point guns at Louis. The documentary shows the audience that the IOF and Israeli settlers are very bad people.

    I’ve watched many Louis Theroux movies and I’ve enjoyed many of them a lot.

  • No, the US has drivers licenses as the de facto id. It was not intended to be an ID because it was only meant to say that you can drive a car. Then the people don’t drive a car, don’t have a driver’s license. In many states, the driver’s license was very insecure and easy to make fraudulent licenses. This is why the US is trying to do the “real id” system since 2005, but the system is still not completed. Very car-brained country. Social Security Number was also not intended to be an ID, which is why it is so insecure.

    There’s a map on this page which shows many countries around the world have citizen ID cards.

    The US has no real national id system because politicians want for it to be hard for working people to file various paperwork. It’s made tedious on purpose. It would be better if working people can more easily have an ID card. Being forced to show that ID card on demand though, is not very good.
