Monday, October 25, 2010

Phnom Penh: Louis Theroux is the youngest son of the American writer Paul Theroux. The British-US broadcaster is best known for his Gonzo style journalism. After working with Michael Moore the BBC commissioned him to star in his own films. Tonight we are screening “NO PLACE FOR PAEDOPHILES” (2008, 60mins) about the Coalinga State Hospital in California, where sex offenders are treated. In “LOUIS AND THE NAZIS” (2003, 79mins) Theroux follows white American nationalists and and singing twin girls known as "Prussian Blue". For “LAW AND ORDER IN JOHANNESBURG” (200, 60mins) he travels to South Africa, where residents find themselves increasingly besieged by crime. The event is on Saturday at Meta House at 7pm.
