You may have already seen clips from Louis Theroux's imperative new documentary on social media, complete with Israeli soldiers pointing guns at him. It's available now in UK – but those in the US or beyond aren't necessarily out of luck.
Keep reading as we explain how to watch The Settlers online from ANYWHERE with a VPN.
In 1967, hundreds of thousands of Israelis and Jewish people from around the world, dubbed "settlers", started seizing land and homes in the West Bank – one of only two remaining so-called "Palestinian territories", the other being the now-devastated Gaza Strip – with the support of the Israeli government and under the protection of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
Conservative estimates suggest that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been displaced from the West Bank alone, and since Theroux's last visit in 2010, the settler movement has accelerated aggressively. The Settlers sees Theroux, in his signature style, uncover the settlers' plans to make the Gaza Strip their own.
Accompanied Issa Amro, a Palestinian man, Theroux also witnesses first-hand the deeply embedded apartheid policies that have become normalized and have dictated everyday life for decades.
