The Settlers (2025)

In The Settlers, acclaimed documentarian Louis Theroux journeys into the occupied West Bank to examine the lives and ideologies of Jewish settlers living on Palestinian land. Through principled journalism and engagement through calm curiousity, Theroux embeds himself among a range of settler communities—from messianic extremists to suburban transplants—probing their beliefs about divine entitlement, nationalism, and the justification for displacing Palestinians.

Against a backdrop of military checkpoints, illegal outposts, and expanding settlements, the film exposes the layered moral contradictions of life under apartheid and the normalization of occupation. The Settlers offers a sobering portrait of life inside one of the most entrenched colonial projects of the modern era.
