Louis Theroux has never shied away from controversy, but the hatred that spews from the mouths of the manosphere influencers he shadows makes his latest film uncomfortable viewing. Which is why everyone should watch it, says Debra Waters
The first thing I did after finishing Louis Theroux’s latest documentary Inside the Manosphere (Netflix), was ask my teenage son to watch it. This is not because I saw the opportunity for a teaching moment – that would have triggered an instant eyeroll – but because I was curious to know what my teen thought of these men, with their many followers, fancy cars, and big houses. Would he find their lives so appealing that he’d be willing to overlook their misogyny?
