Louis Theroux is back with a brand new three-part documentary called ‘Altered States’.
The series will cover the heavy topics of adoption and the abusive side of the industry, the pro’s and cons of polyamory and the problematic ethics surrounding the discussion of euthanasia.
Theroux said in a press release about the series: “I have always been interested in how people conduct the most intimate aspects of their lives.
“For this series we looked at the new ways Americans are approaching some of humanity’s oldest dilemmas: pregnant mums who feel unequipped to keep their babies and so pick new parents for them; the world of polyamory aka ‘ethical non-monogamy’; and people with debilitating conditions who opt to hasten their own deaths.
He continued: “All of these stories have something a touch utopian about them, involving a kind of idealism and forward thinking that brings new opportunities but also new risks. I have been given extraordinary levels of access to courageous people and families across the United States, many of them enduring unbelievable levels of stress and anguish, and it was a privilege to be allowed into their lives in this most personal way.”
Louis Theroux’s Altered States will premiere on BBC Two later this year.
