A follow-up documentary by Theroux, America's Most Hated Family in Crisis, was first broadcast on BBC 2 on 3 April 2011.[16] In 2019, Theroux made another follow-up, Surviving America'southward Most Hated Family, essentially creating a trilogy of documentaries based on the church.[17]

Background [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,[18] Phelps conducts himself nether the belief that he is a prophet chosen past God "to preach his message of hate".[xix] Phelps was ordained a Southern Baptist in 1947.[18] [19] The Westboro Baptist Church building was started by Phelps in 1955.[nineteen] Members of the church building meet in Phelps' residence; the majority of the group's adherents are his family unit.[18] Phelps received an associate's degree from John Muir Junior College in 1951,[eighteen] a bachelor's degree in 1962 and a degree in law in 1964 from Washburn University.[18] [19] He formed a "cause for righteousness", attempting to abolish Jim Crow laws in Topeka.[xix]

In 1991 when a local park started to serve as a meeting place for homosexual men, Phelps began to protest against homosexuality.[xix] Phelps afterward enlarged the scope of his activities and formed protests in areas where civil 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 man murdered for being homosexual.[18]

Westboro Baptist Church building bases its work around the belief that "God Hates Fags",[20] and expresses the opinion, based on its Biblical interpretation, that about every tragedy in the world is God'southward penalisation for homosexuality – specifically club's increasing tolerance and acceptance of gay, lesbian, and bisexual people.[21] It maintains that God hates homosexuals above all other kinds of "sinners"[22] and that homosexuality should be a capital criminal offense.[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, the Netherlands, and the Usa.[24] The organisation is monitored by the Anti-Defamation League[25] and is classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Police force Middle.[26] [27] The group has achieved notoriety because of its picketing of funeral processions of U.S. soldiers killed in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan.[28] [29]

Controversial acts of Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church building resulted in litigation and the germination of groups which counter-protest confronting its efforts.[18] President George Westward. Bush signed the Respect for America's Fallen Heroes Act into law on Memorial Day in May 2006.[18] Groups of American Legion members formed motorbike honor guards, such as the Patriot Guard Riders, with the intention of safeguarding funerals of U.S. armed forces from the church protesters.[eighteen] Another grouping, called "Free Democracy," held signs praising the military.[30]

Content [edit]

The Near Hated Family in America includes footage of members of the Westboro Baptist Church picketing at funerals of United States soldiers. The organisation members hold signs blaming deaths of U.S. soldiers on the country's 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.South.,[32] stating the soldiers were "struck down by God for fighting for a depraved nation".[33]

They attend the funeral of a soldier Kevin Zeigler who died at the age of 31 while attempting to disable a bomb in Iraq. Referring to improvised explosive devices, Westboro Baptist Church hold signs reading, "Thank God for IEDs".[34] Protestation signs carried past members of the arrangement at the funeral, including six-twelvemonth-one-time children, state: "Thank God For Dead Soldiers", "Don't Worship The Expressionless" and "Fag Marines". Another placard criticises Diana, Princess of Wales, for her friendship with the LGBT customs, stating, "Majestic Whore in Hell". Diana is criticised by the organisation as a "fag enabler".[34] Additional signs read "God hates fags",[35] "Give thanks God for Expressionless Soldiers",[36] "God is America's Terrorist",[37] and "Fag Troops".[31] The Westboro Baptist Church members reveled in the xi September attacks and stated they were punishment for the country's "fornication and lust".[15] The group too 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 (chosen "Grandpa" by members of the organisation) 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 presume yous have privileged admission to Grace?" Phelps responds, "Oh, I know all in that location is to know about 'em." When Theroux asks him how he knows this, Phelps answers, "I'k non going to go along on talking to you lot. I know what you are [⁠ ⁠…⁠ ⁠] You're an evil … I don't even wanna go there [⁠ ⁠…⁠ ⁠] Adept luck to ya!"[38]

Filmmaker [edit]

Theroux traveled from the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland to Kansas, United States to come across members of the Westboro Baptist Church.[39] [40] Theroux and a BBC moving picture coiffure spent 3 weeks in Topeka, Kansas, gathering information on the 71 members of the system.[41] In an article for The Guardian, Theroux noted, "It was fascinating to see the power of a family to create its ain baroque credo and laissez passer it downwardly through the generations."[42] In a argument in The Age, Theroux posited, "Maybe, through my enthusiasm, people reveal more of themselves than they may have intended. The bear witness is laughing at me, adrift in their world, as much as at them."[43] The Western Mail quoted Theroux on how he selects subject affair which interests him, "The subjects I'chiliad interested in are quite extreme. They're and so far beyond the pale of normal human being 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 think that the pastor is not a very overnice person. I call back he's an angry person who's twisted the Bible and picked and chosen verses that support his acrimony, that sort of justify his anger, and he's instilled that in his children and they've passed information technology on to their children. Although the 2nd and 3rd generation are by and large quite nice people from what I saw, they still live under the influence of their Grandpa."[45]

Autonomously from their protests, Theroux found them to be quite kind, and commented, "It shows you what strange avenues the religious impulse can have y'all down. I think another function of the answer is that parts of the Christian Bible are pretty weird. At that place'south a lot of weird stuff in there and when you take that and y'all add this angry, domineering kind of a father figure, which is Grandfather, and y'all 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 yet is up to a point. He was [⁠ ⁠…⁠ ⁠] very exact, very persuasive, [⁠ ⁠and⁠ ⁠] an extremely compelling speaker. All these things added together combined to brand a powerful influence."[45]

Reception [edit]

Response from organisation [edit]

The Westboro Baptist Church appreciated the attending its organisation received from the documentary, and added a commendation to the motion-picture show on its website.[46] Shirley Phelps-Roper stated she had i regret almost the documentary: "If he had just called it, 'The Well-nigh Hated Family in the World'". The Washington Post reported, "In the last hours of the last days, she explained, Jesus said his chosen will be 'hated past 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 about their chastity. Phelps as well stated that Theroux "contrives and manipulates those he interviews", accusing him of feigning naivety on camera.[48] [49]

Critical reception [edit]

Writing for The Times, journalist David Chater highlighted The Most Hated Family in America among selections for "Chater'south Choice".[11] Chater commented, "Louis Theroux undertakes his ugliest assignment to date."[31] Chater ended, "Theroux deploys all his logic and amuse to find the humanity below the rhetoric, but ultimately fails. It is hard to reason with people who think that property up a placard proclaiming 'Jews worship the rectum' is 'a courteous and loving' thing to exercise."[31] The motion-picture show was highlighted in the Liverpool Repeat equally "Sunday's: Pick of the day".[53] Peter Grant of the Liverpool Echo commented, "Louis Theroux took a trip to Kansas for his documentary, The Nigh Hated Family unit in America. His profile of Westboro Baptist Church, the dwelling house of America'southward most fanatical Christian fundamentalists, was astonishing."[54] Karl French of Financial Times selected the film as his "Critic's Pick". French wrote positively of the documentary, "Afterward painting himself into an oddball- documentary corner a few years back, Theroux wisely took a long break, and he's come back refreshed, as confirmed by this film. In the style it reveals the comic horror inherent in all forms of zealotry, information technology is every bit equally compelling as Theroux'due south recent Vegas documentary."[12]

Writing for The Scotsman, Andrea Mullaney articulated, "Theroux really had constitute the ultimate in weirdness for his latest documentary – they're so beyond the signal of reason, into a cocky-perpetuating psychosis, that no affair how he tried, he couldn't challenge their beamingly-delivered pronouncements, or trip them up. But he did manage to show them as human 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 Most Hated Family in America, shatter another redneck American target, the Westboro Baptist Church".[55] In a review of the documentary for The Sunday Times, Roland White discussed Theroux's stylistic technique, "Theroux's usual technique – the friendly ingenue – made absolutely no impact on these people. Information technology 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 achieve. Information technology is impossible to out–argue the religious bigot. They take impeccable logic on their side: the word of God is the righteous truth; only they sympathize the truthful give-and-take of the Lord; therefore, they are right and everybody else is wrong."[56] Liverpool Daily Postal service recommended the film in its column, "Sun: What to Watch".[57] Writing for the Birmingham Mail, Graham Young observed, "The Virtually Hated Family unit 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 picture as his "Pick of the twenty-four hours". Dugdale wrote favorably of the film, "At that place are echoes of Theroux's film about a woman raising her daughters equally neo-Nazis as he watches Phelps' girl, Shirley, handing out placards to kids as young as 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's interview techniques, "His subtle interviewing way was perfect for showing off the crazy views of the members."[15]

Writing in The Independent, Cathy Pryor declared, "Louis Theroux is out-oddballed this week by the subject of his latest documentary ... Astonishingly, Theroux makes you feel some sympathy for them and the price they pay for existence the way they are."[36] Thomas Sutcliffe of The Independent posited that viewers were "...[left] wondering, afterwards an hour, whether the Phelps hadn't got a chip more out of it than Louis. They aren't representative of anything simply themselves, later on all, and they rejoice in the world'southward detestation. And so they had nothing to lose by being held up to ridicule, and gained exactly what they desire – a bigger audience for their insane rantings."[34] Writing for The Daily Record, Paul English wrote favorably, "The journalist in me marvels at yet more groovy work from Theroux. But the human in me mourns that we 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 only they weren't budging an inch. The end result was that a group of loathsome people who spend every second of their lives trying to attract free publicity for themselves got a whole hr of it courtesy of the BBC. Ah, the joys of public service television."[60] Writing for The Observer, Kathryn Flett was critical of the option of championship 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 who incorporate the majority of the 71 congregants of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas, aren't appalling, but the championship definitely infers that they are the family about hated by about Americans, when I uncertainty most Americans take the faintest idea who they are."[38] Mike Bradley of The Observer commented about the moving-picture show, "A stupor doc, simply an easy target for Theroux."[33]

In a review for the Melbourne, Australia newspaper, The Age, Larry Schwartz selected the documentary as "Critic's Choice".[13] Schwartz was critical of Theroux's lack of detachment from his subject matter, "He repeatedly distances himself from the church, expressing his disapproval of their views. But so concerned is he, he seems almost evangelical in his determination to show them the error of their means."[xiii] The documentary was highlighted in The Sydney Morning Herald among "The week's best", and critic Greg Hassall characterised information technology as, "Disturbing, perplexing and very entertaining."[5] The Australia newspaper MX highlighted the documentary favorably, in its column, "Best in prove".[61] Cameron Adams of the Herald Sun selected The Nearly Hated Family in America as his "Top Selection" recommendation. Adams wrote, "A truly disturbing, disgusting and sad 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' only-in-America church where her 11 spooky kids regularly picket funerals of US soldiers killed in Iraq – they believe God killed them to show his hatred of how 'depraved' America now is."[xiv]

Follow-ups [edit]

Theroux returned to Westboro Baptist Church building for a follow-upwardly documentary four years after making The Most Hated Family in America, to investigate the departure of several members of the Phelps family since his last visit. The moving-picture show, America'southward Well-nigh Hated Family in Crisis, was first broadcast on BBC Ii on iii April 2011.[16] Theroux's return was prompted by an email he received from a young member of the church building he had interviewed previously, who had since left and been disfellowed. The U.S. Supreme Court case of Snyder five. Phelps, heard following a lawsuit leveled at Westboro Baptist Church building for distress acquired past the picketing of the funeral of a The states Marine killed in Iraq, served as the background to the sequel. Theroux was interested in the ambivalent attitude of church members towards his first motion-picture show, and stated, "The new documentary feels quite dissimilar than the original – though still funny, a piddling darker and stranger".[62]

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