Louis Theroux: Dark States - Murder In Milwaukee
The reporter examines gun crime and racial tensions in the US city, where the homicide rate is 12 times the national average and the police are frequently regarded with distrust.

He follows the police department's homicide officers as they investigate a shooting, spends time with a family that has lost a loved one to gun crime, and meets a former gang leader who has become a social activist dedicated to finding solutions to her city's problems. He also examines the impact of a recent police shooting.

tt....already a thread

Another one's done gone.

Did you learn anything Leo?

Yes....don't go to Milwaukee.

Louis is brilliant, you can feel the patients opening up to him with ease.

Good that they have shown that it is a mental illness and not what the media claims.

bizzare that they never seem to try and get to the crux of what actually triggered their mental decline and the subsequent onset of anorexia

A few of them mentioned to louis what may had triggered it, the muslim girl mentioned an arranged marriage, the dental nurse mentioned being dumped and the 63 old jewish rebelled when she was supposed to get married.

But the health workers seem to have a sheet to work from rather than find the pinpot of their decline.

exactly

just telling someone to eat doesn't work

they are trapped in a cycle of irrational behaviour and are not challenged to address the root cause of their illness

That's right Sonko. Life ( meaning mainly other people ) is difficult so this is an escape from bullying and having their own control.  But they really need tough love. I would tell them I don't care what they look like and with all the suffering that goes on in this world neither should you be too bothered.

this could be interesting
