Louis Theroux: America's Most Hated Family in Crisis

Directed by Emma Cooper

With Louis Theroux, Fred Phelps, Shirley Phelps-Roper, Lauren Drain and Steve Drain

Following up on his 2007 documentary, The Most Hated Family in America, Louis Theroux returns to Topeka, Kansas, for a week-long visit with the Westboro Baptist Church. He again joins the Phelps family on their controversial pickets where they try to antagonise communities with offensive slogans and anti-gay placards. But four years on from Louis's last visit, there are signs of disarray in the Phelps clan. A series of defections of family members has shaken up the church.
