Louis Theroux to Explore Israeli Settler Expansion in New BBC Documentary

The acclaimed documentarian returns to the West Bank to examine the growing influence and human impact of extremist settler communities.

Louis Theroux's new BBC documentary, 'The Settlers,' revisits the Israeli settler movement in the West Bank 15 years after his 2010 film, 'The Ultra-Zionists.'
Theroux aims to investigate the emboldened expansion of ultra-nationalist settler communities and its human cost, particularly following the Israel-Hamas war.
The documentary will feature Theroux embedding himself within the settler communities and traveling across the West Bank to gain firsthand insights.
BBC producers revealed that some settlers are reportedly planning to move into Gaza, where recent fighting has devastated the region and killed tens of thousands of Palestinians.
The project seeks to provide a broader commentary on tribalism and fundamentalism, exploring how such ideologies impact perceptions of humanity and conflict resolution.
