Louis Theroux: Shooting Joe Exotic

ÖZET

Louis Theroux investigates the story of a man who has become one of the most controversial and captivating icons of recent times: the self-described 'gay hillbilly', 'Tiger King' Joe Exotic. Ten years after he met Joe for the documentary America's Most Dangerous Pets, Louis returns to Oklahoma, responding to a direct call from Joe to tell the 'real story' and to explore the saga of an animal hoarder turned convicted felon. Looking back at his original documentary, Louis reflects on hours of unseen footage to try and understand who the real Joe Exotic is and how he roped a vast menagerie of animals and humans into a grand project of vanity and deception. He tells how Joe's captivating charisma became a key ingredient in a viral television sensation, with life- changing consequences for all those involved - including Carole Baskin, the target of his murder-for-hire plot and a mass trolling campaign.
