    Essential Viewing

    Outstanding documentary. Louis and team - thank you. This is so needed at this time. Very disturbing ideology captured so rawly and allowing people to express their ridiculous views without interruption and dig holes for themselves.

    His interview style is always a hit. I have no idea how he composes himself amongst religious fanatics. But it allows us insight into what these people are telling themselves.

    Many people might claim this documentary is biased - I would challenge that narrative and ask people to read up on history. Please watch this before we lose it. This is the type of journalism this world so desperately needs.

    Tension, power and reality

    Louis Theroux's The Settlers is a thought-provoking and intense documentary that explores life in the West Bank.

    It offers a close look at the realities on the ground, highlighting the tensions between settlers and Palestinians without forcing a specific viewpoint. Theroux's calm, observant approach allows the situation to unfold naturally, letting viewers form their own impressions.

    The documentary touches on sensitive issues like settlement expansion, military presence, and restricted movement in a way that feels both emotional and restrained.

    It's a raw, important watch for anyone interested in understanding the complexity of the region today.

    Louis' finest hour

    A masterpiece in revealing what it means to be a settler in the occupied West Bank, delivered with excellence from a storied documentarian.

    For those unfamiliar with the geopolitics of the region, Louis meets some of the leading figures in the Israeli settler community gleefully explaining their actions that contravene international law.

    Louis' understated style allows interviewees to tell on themselves and bring everything to the table with ease.

    History will look upon this work as a light into the depraved ideology that is beset upon the people of Palestine.

    If Louis' work needed a crowning jewel, this is it.

    Great balanced reporting

    Great, balanced reporting of this conflict. In the face of incredible evidence, Louis Theroux and his team maintains impeccable ethics, standards and overall composure amid obvious conflict and multiple tests of character in a land so consumed with tension. I would elaborate on examples, but it's better to watch for yourself to understand the emotion on both sides and the reasons why such conflict emerges.

    I would recommend this documentary to anyone open to understanding more about, not just this conflict, but the dynamics that lead this to be the source of so many of the worlds conflicts today.

    Incredible

    Louis becomes witness to the hidden depravity, violence, oppression and inhumanity Palestinians face on a daily basis at the hand of 'The Settlers'. This is a brave, must-see documentary that lays bare the brutal reality of settler violence in the West Bank. Theroux's bold, confrontational style-especially when challenging figures like Daniella Weiss-exposes the raw aggression, sociopathy and systemic injustice Palestinians endure daily. The film's unflinching focus on the occupation's human toll, from stolen land to constant fear, is both heartbreaking and galvanizing, earning it high praise for its nuance and courage. Yet, it falls short by not amplifying Palestinian voices enough; settlers often dominate the narrative, and deeper historical context is missed. Still, The Settlers is a powerful wake-up call, demanding viewers confront the truth of Palestinian suffering. It's not perfect, but its impact is undeniable.
