Louis Theroux

And realistically, and I've been at screenings where people have made similar complaints.

And I just have to say, I work in a way when I make films that tends to be perpetrator focused.

I try and interrogate those people who have the most power and the ones who have the most power.

And this actually speaks to the idea that, oh, it's one sided.

In a sense, you could argue it is because I'm looking at the people who are in control of the tanks and who actually are benefiting from the occupation to interrogate their choices.

And other films could be made.

But this is the one that I wanted to make.

You know, it's not an unfamiliar role for me to be talking to someone who's obstinately refusing to see the facts in the way that she does.

I think I mentioned, I did a story about a cult in the Midwest in which one of the leaders was this woman called Shirley Phelps Roper.

She had a similar energy.

The Westboro one.

Amazing.

The Westboro Baptist Church.

So she had a similar energy.

And I feel as though...

It would have been a problem in the film if, as a viewer, you hadn't already seen video filmed of settler violence.

But because you have, then the viewer is able to draw their own conclusion as to how credible Daniela is.

And she is quite evidently willfully refusing to see the facts.

And it's almost a terminological issue.

It was Max Weber who said that the state is the institution that has the monopoly of legitimate violence in a given area.
