Louis Theroux / Credit: BBCLouis Theroux is to return to BBC Two this spring with three new films, putting Los Angeles under the microscope in Louis Theroux's LA Stories.
The topics which are being explored this time around are LA's problem with neglected and feral dogs, the experiences of patients with life-threatening conditions at the city's most famous hospital and how sex offenders are dealt with after being released from prison in California.
Louis said: “I’ve been living in Los Angeles with my family for the past year or so. It seemed a chance to explore different sides of a single place, by spending longer immersed in stories and going deeper with the subjects.
“I have a love hate relationship with the city. It embodies the best and worst of America. It combines wealth and glamour with social breakdown and deep neglect. We’ve concentrated on stories that take us into the extremes of life and the extreme parts of one of the world’s great cities.”
The films were commissioned by Janice Hadlow, Controller of BBC Two, and Emma Willis, Head of Commissioning, Documentaries for BBC One, Two and Four. They are Exec Produced by Sam Bagnall for the BBC.
