Synopsis:
British documentary film maker Louis Theroux has a unique style. Like no
other he manages to strike the balance between getting involved with
and close to his topics and making sure he keeps enough distance to
guarantee his neutrality and independence. His open approach, integrity
and diplomacy win people over, even those living in some of the world's
most closed communities. Theroux's work method has resulted in quite a
few memorable scenes and movies. In his own words and with the aid of
video fragments he will shed a light on his style, technique and vision.
Louis
has gained access to Coalinga Mental Hospital in California, which
houses more than 500 of the most disturbed criminals in America,
convicted paedophiles. Most have already served lengthy prison
sentences, but have been deemed unsafe for release. Instead, they have
been sent here for an indefinite time. Spending time with those
undergoing treatment, Louis wrestles with whether he can ever allow
himself to believe men whose whole history is defined by deception and
deceit.
