Louis Theroux - Americas most hated family is a subjective documentary about the West-borough Baptist church, where Louis visits a family created community where they picket and insult homosexual couples who have died in wars throughout America.
Louis' questions are to the point but can be a bit harsh which I think is a good combination to get answers from the Baptist community. The beginning shots help establish the west-borough's mind sets and how people react to them, at the first glance of the signs you can see how serious the west-borough community are about their spreading their message that America is doomed the acts the american civilisation do.
Later on in the film Louis is shown where they make the sign by one of the community members where there are signs that say 'thank God for IED's' and one major sign that displayed an image of Princess Diana which is very controversial towards the British public as the story behind princess Diana and what she meant to the UK is something special.
In certain parts of the film Louis is introduced to pastor Fred Felps who is aggressively give Louis even more questions to what and tries to avert from giving the answers he want by saying snarky comments which comes from both the pastor and the some of his followers. After the pastor reads out the broadcast Louis asks him about who many children he has when the pastor replies saying "don't bother me with that kind of silly question" which shows that he isn't willing to give Louis the answers he wants.
