LOUIS THEROUX: SHOOTING JOE EXOTIC

1 x 90 for BBC Two

This 90-minute special sees Louis Theroux travel to America to explore the story of Joseph Schreibvogel, who has become one of the most controversial and captivating icons of recent times: the gun-toting, self-described “gay hillbilly” and “Tiger King” Joe Exotic. A decade on from when he first met Joe for the documentary ‘America’s Most Dangerous Pets’, Louis returns to Oklahoma – responding to a direct call from Joe to tell the “real story” and to investigate the saga of a private zoo owner turned convicted felon.
