Louis Theroux is an English broadcaster, known for his Gonzo style journalism and documentation of subcultures, celebrities, and more. Born in Singapore, Theroux is the son of the American travel writer and novelist Paul Theroux. He attended Magdalen College, Oxford, where he got a first class degree in modern history. He was noted for his film reviews in Grapevine magazine, and got his first journalism job at Metro Silicon Valley, a free alternative newspaper in California. He later worked as a correspondent in Michael Moore's series TV Nation, where he reported on off-beat cultural subjects. He reported on everything from Avon ladies in the Amazon to the Ku Klux Klan trying to rebrand itself as a civil rights group, and when TV Nation ended he got his own show, Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends. In Weird Weekends he documented subcultures like survivalists, porn stars, rappers, and more, exposing the beliefs and lives of these unique and passionate people. He went on to host When Louis Met... and BBC 2 specials. In Law and Disorder in Johannesburg, we join Louis as he travels to Johannesburg, South Africa, a city overrun with crime, where many residents have lost faith in the police and have turned to private security.
