Louis Theroux is making a new documentary for the BBC about sexual assault and consent

Paul Moore

This will definitely be worth watching

Louis Theroux will be making a one-off BBC Two documentary which explores the topics of sexual assault and consent at American universities.

The Guardian have reported that the documentary will be called The Night in Question and throughout the feature, Theroux will speak with those who have been sexually assaulted.

The interviewees strongly believe that guidelines, classes, and more information on the topic of consent is needed on campuses in the US.

The documentary will also interview the alleged perpetrators who feel that their reputations have been tarnished by these claims.

University officials and the relevant authorities will also feature.

Theroux was last seen on BBC Two during last autumn, where his documentary Altered States examined how modern America deals with birth, love and death.

At present, The Night in Question doesn’t have a premiere date on BBC Two but if it’s half as good as Theroux’s previous work, it’s bound to be an essential watch.
