What Louis Theroux: Law and Disorder in Johannesburg Is About
Louis Theroux goes to Johannesburg and looks at the question of crime in the city. The camera moves him between three sides: the night patrols of armed private security firms, middle-class families ringing their houses with walls and electric wire, and people living in buildings that are being cleared. Theroux talks to all of them and leaves nobody with an easy answer. Paddy Wivell's hour-long BBC documentary uses Theroux's familiar method: asking questions that look naive and waiting for the other person to explain themselves. The inequality behind the crime is stated directly, but the film does not assign it a single cause. The divided state of the city after apartheid, and the way fear and the security economy feed each other, sit at the centre of the telling.
