A follow-up documentary past Theroux, America's Most Hated Family in Crunch, was get-go broadcast on BBC 2 on 3 Apr 2011.[16] In 2019, Theroux made some other follow-up, Surviving America'due south Almost Hated Family, substantially creating a trilogy of documentaries based on the church.[17]

Groundwork [edit]

The documentary focuses on the Westboro Baptist Church, then headed by Fred Phelps and based in Topeka, Kansas. Built-in in 1929 in Meridian, Mississippi,[xviii] Phelps conducts himself under the belief that he is a prophet chosen by God "to preach his message of hate".[19] Phelps was ordained a Southern Baptist in 1947.[xviii] [19] The Westboro Baptist Church was started by Phelps in 1955.[xix] Members of the church encounter in Phelps' residence; the majority of the grouping'south adherents are his family.[18] Phelps received an acquaintance's degree from John Muir Junior College in 1951,[18] a bachelor'south caste in 1962 and a degree in police in 1964 from Washburn University.[18] [19] He formed a "crusade for righteousness", attempting to cancel Jim Crow laws in Topeka.[19]

In 1991 when a local park started to serve as a coming together place for homosexual men, Phelps began to protest confronting homosexuality.[19] Phelps subsequently enlarged the scope of his activities and formed protests in areas where ceremonious rights were being debated for LGBT people.[19] Phelps received criticism in 1998 when he repeatedly exclaimed "Matt is in hell" during the funeral of Matthew Shepard, a human murdered for being homosexual.[eighteen]

Westboro Baptist Church bases its work around the conventionalities that "God Hates Fags",[20] and expresses the opinion, based on its Biblical estimation, that nigh every tragedy in the world is God'south penalty for homosexuality – specifically order'due south increasing tolerance and acceptance of gay, lesbian, and bisexual people.[21] Information technology maintains that God hates homosexuals to a higher place all other kinds of "sinners"[22] and that homosexuality should be a capital crime.[23] The church runs the website GodHatesFags.com, and GodHatesAmerica.com, and websites expressing condemnation of LGBT people, Roman Catholics, Muslims, Hindus, Jews, Sweden, Ireland, Canada, kingdom of the netherlands, and the United states.[24] The organisation is monitored by the Anti-Defamation League[25] and is classified as a hate group past the Southern Poverty Law Center.[26] [27] The group has achieved notoriety considering of its picketing of funeral processions of U.S. soldiers killed in gainsay in Republic of iraq and Afghanistan.[28] [29]

Controversial acts of Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church building resulted in litigation and the formation of groups which counter-protestation against its efforts.[xviii] President George West. Bush signed the Respect for America'southward Fallen Heroes Human action into police force on Memorial Day in May 2006.[xviii] Groups of American Legion members formed motorcycle honor guards, such as the Patriot Baby-sit Riders, with the intention of safeguarding funerals of U.S. military from the church protesters.[18] Another group, chosen "Gratuitous Republic," held signs praising the military.[thirty]

Content [edit]

The Most Hated Family unit in America includes footage of members of the Westboro Baptist Church picketing at funerals of United states soldiers. The arrangement members hold signs blaming deaths of U.South. soldiers on the country'due south tolerance towards homosexuality and LGBT people.[31] Westboro Baptist Church members believe that these deaths are caused by God as retribution for the immorality of the U.S.,[32] stating the soldiers were "struck downward by God for fighting for a depraved nation".[33]

They attend the funeral of a soldier Kevin Zeigler who died at the historic period of 31 while attempting to disable a bomb in Iraq. Referring to improvised explosive devices, Westboro Baptist Church building hold signs reading, "Thank God for IEDs".[34] Protestation signs carried by members of the organisation at the funeral, including six-year-old children, state: "Give thanks God For Expressionless Soldiers", "Don't Worship The Dead" and "Fag Marines". Another placard criticises Diana, Princess of Wales, for her friendship with the LGBT community, stating, "Regal Whore in Hell". Diana is criticised by the organisation as a "fag enabler".[34] Boosted signs read "God hates fags",[35] "Thank God for Dead Soldiers",[36] "God is America'south Terrorist",[37] and "Fag Troops".[31] The Westboro Baptist Church building members reveled in the 11 September attacks and stated they were penalisation for the land's "fornication and animalism".[15] The grouping also protests exterior the local synagogue[36] and holds signs which state that, "Jews worship the rectum".[31]

Theroux interviews members of the Phelps family including Fred Phelps (called "Grandpa" by members of the system) and Shirley Phelps-Roper. Theroux asks Fred Phelps, "Isn't it an act of presumption, when you don't have all the information about all the other churches, to assume y'all have privileged access to Grace?" Phelps responds, "Oh, I know all there is to know near 'em." When Theroux asks him how he knows this, Phelps answers, "I'm not going to keep on talking to you. I know what you lot are [⁠ ⁠…⁠ ⁠] You lot're an evil … I don't even wanna go there [⁠ ⁠…⁠ ⁠] Proficient luck to ya!"[38]

Filmmaker [edit]

Theroux traveled from the U.k. to Kansas, United States to meet members of the Westboro Baptist Church.[39] [40] Theroux and a BBC pic coiffure spent three weeks in Topeka, Kansas, gathering information on the 71 members of the organisation.[41] In an article for The Guardian, Theroux noted, "It was fascinating to see the power of a family to create its own bizarre ideology and pass it down through the generations."[42] In a statement in The Historic period, Theroux posited, "Perchance, through my enthusiasm, people reveal more of themselves than they may have intended. The evidence is laughing at me, adrift in their world, every bit much as at them."[43] The Western Post quoted Theroux on how he selects subject matter which interests him, "The subjects I'm interested in are quite farthermost. They're and so far beyond the pale of normal human interaction that you're never going to get a reality show on that territory."[44]

In an interview with BBC News, Theroux stated that the Phelpses are the most extreme people he has ever met. Regarding Fred Phelps' teachings, Theroux stated, "I recall that the pastor is not a very overnice person. I call back he'south an aroused person who's twisted the Bible and picked and called verses that support his anger, that sort of justify his acrimony, and he'southward instilled that in his children and they've passed it on to their children. Although the second and third generation are by and big quite dainty people from what I saw, they nevertheless live under the influence of their Gramps."[45]

Apart from their protests, Theroux plant them to be quite kind, and commented, "It shows y'all what strange avenues the religious impulse can have you down. I think some other function of the answer is that parts of the Christian Bible are pretty weird. There's a lot of weird stuff in there and when you accept that and you lot add this angry, domineering kind of a begetter figure, which is Gramps, and you add that he has sort of separated them off from other people, other families and driven them to attain a lot, and he was kind of a charismatic guy, and still is up to a indicate. He was [⁠ ⁠…⁠ ⁠] very exact, very persuasive, [⁠ ⁠and⁠ ⁠] an extremely compelling speaker. All these things added together combined to make a powerful influence."[45]

Reception [edit]

Response from arrangement [edit]

The Westboro Baptist Church appreciated the attending its organisation received from the documentary, and added a citation to the movie on its website.[46] Shirley Phelps-Roper stated she had one regret about the documentary: "If he had just called it, 'The Virtually Hated Family unit in the World'". The Washington Mail service reported, "In the concluding hours of the final days, she explained, Jesus said his chosen volition be 'hated by all men.'"[47]

On 8 April 2007, Fred Phelps Sr preached a sermon addressing Louis Theroux directly and personally, accusing Theroux of taking "cheap unfair reward" of the young women in the church, and trying to embarrass them well-nigh their chastity. Phelps likewise stated that Theroux "contrives and manipulates those he interviews", accusing him of feigning naivety on photographic camera.[48] [49]

Disquisitional reception [edit]

Writing for The Times, journalist David Chater highlighted The Nearly Hated Family in America among selections for "Chater's Choice".[xi] Chater commented, "Louis Theroux undertakes his ugliest consignment to date."[31] Chater ended, "Theroux deploys all his logic and charm to find the humanity below the rhetoric, merely ultimately fails. Information technology is difficult to reason with people who think that property up a placard proclaiming 'Jews worship the rectum' is 'a courteous and loving' thing to do."[31] The picture was highlighted in the Liverpool Echo as "Sun'southward: Selection of the solar day".[53] Peter Grant of the Liverpool Echo commented, "Louis Theroux took a trip to Kansas for his documentary, The Most Hated Family in America. His contour of Westboro Baptist Church, the home of America's most fanatical Christian fundamentalists, was astonishing."[54] Karl French of Financial Times selected the movie as his "Critic'southward Choice". French wrote positively of the documentary, "Afterwards painting himself into an oddball- documentary corner a few years back, Theroux wisely took a long pause, and he's come up dorsum refreshed, as confirmed by this motion picture. In the style information technology reveals the comic horror inherent in all forms of zealotry, it is every bit as compelling as Theroux'southward recent Vegas documentary."[12]

Writing for The Scotsman, Andrea Mullaney articulated, "Theroux really had found the ultimate in weirdness for his latest documentary – they're and then across the point of reason, into a cocky-perpetuating psychosis, that no matter how he tried, he couldn't challenge their beamingly-delivered pronouncements, or trip them up. But he did manage to prove them as human being beings (more than than the courtesy they extend to us sinners)."[37] Hilary Fannin of The Irish Times commented that the airing of the documentary, "saw Louis Theroux, in The Almost Hated Family unit in America, shatter another redneck American target, the Westboro Baptist Church".[55] In a review of the documentary for The Sun Times, Roland White discussed Theroux'due south stylistic technique, "Theroux'due south usual technique – the friendly ingenue – fabricated admittedly no impact on these people. It was like watching a youngster from a village cricket team trying to bowl out Geoff Boycott, and I began to wonder what Theroux was hoping to accomplish. It is impossible to out–fence the religious bigot. They have impeccable logic on their side: the discussion of God is the righteous truth; only they understand the true word of the Lord; therefore, they are right and everybody else is wrong."[56] Liverpool Daily Post recommended the film in its column, "Sun: What to Watch".[57] Writing for the Birmingham Post, Graham Immature observed, "The Virtually Hated Family in America is the all-time documentary from Louis since long before his Michael Jackson fiasco."[58] John Dugdale of The Lord's day Times highlighted the film every bit his "Pick of the twenty-four hours". Dugdale wrote favorably of the picture show, "At that place are echoes of Theroux's film about a adult female raising her daughters as neo-Nazis as he watches Phelps' daughter, Shirley, handing out placards to kids as immature every bit seven. While tangling with her and her dad is pointless, the family's younger women are less inflexible, and his encounters with them are more rewarding."[35] A review in the Leicester Mercury noted of Theroux'due south interview techniques, "His subtle interviewing manner was perfect for showing off the crazy views of the members."[fifteen]

Writing in The Contained, Cathy Pryor declared, "Louis Theroux is out-oddballed this week by the subject of his latest documentary ... Astonishingly, Theroux makes yous feel some sympathy for them and the price they pay for being the way they are."[36] Thomas Sutcliffe of The Independent posited that viewers were "...[left] wondering, after an hour, whether the Phelps hadn't got a flake more out of it than Louis. They aren't representative of annihilation but themselves, after all, and they rejoice in the globe's detestation. So they had zilch to lose by beingness held upwardly to ridicule, and gained exactly what they want – a bigger audience for their insane rantings."[34] Writing for The Daily Record, Paul English wrote favorably, "The announcer in me marvels at yet more than great work from Theroux. But the homo in me mourns that nosotros gave this appalling family exactly what they want. The shiny badge of notoriety..."[59] A review in the Irish Contained was critical of giving whatsoever coverage to the group, "Theroux tried to get the teenage daughters to deviate from the standard family line but they weren't budging an inch. The end result was that a group of loathsome people who spend every 2d of their lives trying to attract gratis publicity for themselves got a whole hour of information technology courtesy of the BBC. Ah, the joys of public service television."[60] Writing for The Observer, Kathryn Flett was critical of the choice of title for the documentary, commenting, "The Most Hated Family in America? Says who? Louis Theroux? BBC2? Ooh, I don't like a sweeping statement of a documentary title. Not that the family unit who comprise the bulk of the 71 congregants of the Westboro Baptist Church building of Topeka, Kansas, aren't appalling, only the title definitely infers that they are the family most hated by nearly Americans, when I doubt most Americans have the faintest idea who they are."[38] Mike Bradley of The Observer commented about the picture show, "A shock physician, but an easy target for Theroux."[33]

In a review for the Melbourne, Australia newspaper, The Age, Larry Schwartz selected the documentary as "Critic'southward Selection".[13] Schwartz was critical of Theroux's lack of disengagement from his subject field matter, "He repeatedly distances himself from the church, expressing his disapproval of their views. Just and so concerned is he, he seems about evangelical in his determination to show them the fault of their ways."[13] The documentary was highlighted in The Sydney Morning Herald among "The week'due south best", and critic Greg Hassall characterised information technology as, "Disturbing, perplexing and very entertaining."[five] The Australia paper MX highlighted the documentary favorably, in its cavalcade, "Best in show".[61] Cameron Adams of the Herald Sun selected The Nearly Hated Family unit in America every bit his "Top Choice" recommendation. Adams wrote, "A truly disturbing, icky and distressing documentary. The repellent Shirley Phelps is the outspoken nutbag who got publicity by calling Heath Ledger a 'fag enabler' afterwards his death. This jaw-dropping doco infiltrates Phelps' merely-in-America church building where her eleven chilling kids regularly picket funerals of US soldiers killed in Republic of iraq – they believe God killed them to evidence his hatred of how 'depraved' America now is."[fourteen]

Follow-ups [edit]

Theroux returned to Westboro Baptist Church for a follow-upwards documentary four years afterward making The Nearly Hated Family in America, to investigate the difference of several members of the Phelps family since his final visit. The film, America's Almost Hated Family unit in Crisis, was first broadcast on BBC Two on iii Apr 2011.[16] Theroux's return was prompted by an e-mail he received from a young member of the church he had interviewed previously, who had since left and been disfellowed. The U.Southward. Supreme Courtroom case of Snyder v. Phelps, heard following a lawsuit leveled at Westboro Baptist Church for distress caused by the picketing of the funeral of a US Marine killed in Iraq, served as the groundwork to the sequel. Theroux was interested in the ambivalent attitude of church members towards his first film, and stated, "The new documentary feels quite different than the original – though still funny, a little darker and stranger".[62]

He returned in 2019 to create Surviving America's Virtually Hated Family.[63]
