WATCH: The first trailer for Louis Theroux’s documentary on sexual assault and consent is here

Dave Hanratty

The Night in Question is coming to BBC Two.

Having decamped to America in order to explore that country’s ‘Altered States’ as part of a recent three-part documentary series, Louis Theroux is back with another unflinching look at society.

Set to premiere on BBC Two, The Night in Question finds Theroux heading to US college campuses where he comes face-to-face with students accused of sexual assault.

The interviewees in question 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.

On Friday, the BBC released the first official trailer for The Night in Question, which, though brief enough, presents a typically forensic undertaking from the documentarian.

You can check it out below, with the documentary set to arrive on BBC Two on Monday 4 March, as per Theroux’s Twitter account.
