Louis Theroux: The Settlers. by Baker, Josh,film director.; Theroux, Louis,actor.; BBC Studios (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Louis TherouxOriginally produced by BBC Studios in 2025.Louis Theroux spends time with the growing community of Israeli religious-nationalist settlers. Their settlements are illegal under international law, and they have been protected by the army, the police and the Israeli government. Since the Hamas-led attacks on 7 October 2023, in which 1,200 Israelis were killed, there has been an acceleration in the establishment of settlements, with settlers pursuing a campaign of violence against local Palestinian communities. What was once a fringe movement has now won support at the highest levels of the government, with their supporters holding key positions in the cabinet and able to influence not only the role the military plays but also the future of this conflict. Louis Theroux embeds himself in the West Bank, meeting prominent settlers - including the ‘godmother’ of the movement, Daniella Weiss - and travelling throughout the territory to understand the consequences of their activity. Louis also meets Palestinians, whose lives have been impacted by settlers moving into their communities. As the world focuses on Gaza, where at least 50,000 Palestinians are estimated to have been killed by Israeli forces since 7 October, Louis discovers that the settlers are already making plans to move into that territory, too.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

The film follows Cree co-director Neil Diamond as he asks, “Why do they love us so much?!” and sets out on a journey to find out why the world is so fascinated with the stereotypical imagery of Native people that is all over pop culture. Why have Indigenous cultures been revered, romanticized, and appropriated for so long, and to this day? RED FEVER uncovers the surprising truths behind the imagery -- so buried in history that even most Native people don't know about them.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Ricky MartinOriginally produced by Legacy Distribution in 2025.Third time was the charm. Twice turned down by Menudo for being too short, Ricky Martin (née Enrique Martin Morales) joined the boy band at age 12 and emerged as a teen heartthrob. Five years later, he was on his own, singing 5 languages, propelling Latin pop to mainstream music. There was Mexican theater, a TV show, then an American soap opera and sitcom along the way. The child who began as a choir altar boy and sang fast food TV ads in Puerto Rico would transcend his “Livin’ La Vida Loca” lyrics and reveal his true self as a gay man. A six-year marriage, 4 children by surrogacy, and divorce would follow. Some may call it “A Loco Life.”Mode of access: World Wide Web.
