Louis Theroux

'Behind bars' was on last night, and it just amazes me how Louis Theroux can turn a kind of intimidating situation, into something light and open. I was amazed at how honest the people were that spoke to him and welcoming they were. I liked the way he documented the relationship between the prison officers and the inmates, and how the group dynamics worked within the prison. I found it intriguing how it made you warm to people who have commited such awful crimes, and how eloquent they were in describing their experiences, perhaps i just settled in stereotypes because of my ignorance, but getting rid of stereotypes is something Theroux does so well in his documentaries.
