Louis Theroux: Nieuwe afleveringen

Trafficking Sex in Boston a.s. zondag.

quote:

Houston, the fourth largest city in the US, is widely considered to be the number one hub for human trafficking in North America. The US Department of Justice estimates that at least one in five of all the country's victims are trafficked through the city, and most of these people will be forced to work in the sex industry.

In Dark States - Trafficking Sex, Louis spends time with American women working in the city's illegal sex industry and explores the often complex dynamic between prostitute and pimp. He discovers a subculture that plays by rules that are morally challenging to most people and seeks to understand what stops these women breaking free. Louis also embeds with law enforcement on undercover operations and meets Vice Division officers tasked with persuading the working women to speak out against their pimps.

Blijft een briljante kreet.

En waarom bij hun op een fiets en bij ons te paard? Zou het echt andersom verwachten...

Voor de vorm OT: hoop zo dat ie nog een keer terug gaat naar die Westboro cult, zo vaak opnieuw gekeken. Dit ziet er ook beter uit dan z'n Scientology docu.

Maar hij is al twee keer bij Westboro geweest. Verhaal is bekend, we gaan allemaal naar de hel. Net als de ex-leden, zelfs als het familie is.

Vind 't gewoon heerlijk om te zien hoe die sekte uit elkaar valt en hij gezellig langs komt om daar met z'n vragen lekker in door te prikken. Maar je hebt wel een punt natuurlijk.

Megan en haar zus Grace zijn al weg.

Zit die van vorige week te kijken. Doet denken aan die andere verslaafde in Londen uit 'Drinking to Oblivion'.

Leuke man die Rico Pimpin.

Niemand heeft het gezien?

Love without limits doet wel denken aan de aflevering van Jouw vrouw mijn vrouw van vorige maand met een vrouw en twee mannen.

The Night in Question

At a time of increased scrutiny about what constitutes sexual assault, award-winning documentary-maker Louis Theroux heads to American college campuses and comes face-to-face with students whose universities are accusing them of sexual assault.

As reports of sexual violence have dramatically increased in recent years, the government has urged US colleges to enforce a stricter code of sexual conduct amongst students. Employing specialist administrators to carry out investigations into alleged misdemeanors, they now have the power to permanently exclude those they deem ‘responsible’. For the victims of sexual assault these new processes, which require less stringent levels of proof than criminal cases, have allowed accusations that might have never been heard in a court of law to be vindicated. But alleged perpetrators believe the attempt to be more vigilant about rape and assault has turned into an overreaction that tramples on due process, and harms innocent people.

At the start of this journey, Louis meets a neuroscience major called Saif Khan, who has been accused of raping a fellow student. His university is investigating the claims separately even though Saif has been found not-guilty in a court of law. Though Saif continuously pleads his innocence, Louis is drawn into an increasingly complex world, where separating fact from fiction becomes increasingly challenging.

He also meets young women whose claims of sexual assault have previously fallen on deaf ears, who believe that a new approach to handling allegations of sex crimes is not only necessary but long overdue. One such student is Mollie Johnson, whose experience is a powerful reminder that there is now a broader understanding of what sexual assault looks like.

Mothers On The Edge

Pregnancy and motherhood are often hailed as the happiest time in a woman's life, but it can also be a time of extreme stress and psychiatric difficulty. In the UK, around one in five new mums experience a mental health problem before their baby’s first birthday, many for the first time in their life.

Award-winning filmmaker Louis Theroux returns to the UK to spend time in two specialist psychiatric units, which treat mothers experiencing serious mental illness whilst allowing them to live alongside their babies. Immersing himself on the wards, he meets women who have been admitted with a range of serious conditions - including depression, anxiety and psychosis - often triggered by birth or the strains of motherhood.

As he follows the patients and their families both in hospital and recovering back at home, Louis explores what lies behind their recent crisis and discovers the immense challenge in caring for two people in the most vulnerable state of their lives.

Louis Theroux says: “Postpartum mental illness, like many aspects of mental health, is all too common and not acknowledged enough. We as a society do so much to celebrate new motherhood and to romanticise the relationship between new mothers and their babies, for understandable reasons. But the sad fact is, for many mums, their experience of having a baby is traumatic and they don’t experience Hallmark Card feelings of love. The women we featured in this film took a huge leap of faith in opening up and speaking to me. They bared a great deal of their souls and risked the judgement of less understanding elements of society. Their bravery and candour is awe inspiring, and it was a privilege to be invited into their families during a most vulnerable period in their lives. I hope this film will go some way to helping normalise postpartum mental illness and stimulate a discussion on how we can best care for mothers at the time they need it the most.”

Clare Sillery, Head of Commissioning, Documentaries, says: “This thought-provoking documentary is sure to open up a conversation about one of the most challenging periods of any parent’s life and puts a spotlight on an issue that remains largely unspoken about in today’s society.”

Louis Theroux: Mothers on the Edge is a 1x60’ for BBC Two.
