A good film about the development of Israel.

The film "Louis Theroux: The Settlers" left a very strong impression. Louis Theroux, as always, masterfully and objectively shows a complex and multi-layered reality. This documentary is not just a story about settlers, but a deep look at the historical and political processes that accompany the development of modern Israel.Particularly valuable is how the film emphasizes Israel's desire for security and stability in the face of the constant threat of terrorism. Through the prism of interviews and personal stories, one can see how difficult and sometimes dramatic the struggle for the right to exist and develop the state is.I recommend watching it to anyone interested in history, politics and who wants to better understand the realities of the Middle East. The film leaves behind a sense of concern, respect for the people of Israel and an awareness of the high price the country pays for its future.

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.

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.
