That’s the Phelps family, some of whom are six years old, who make up most the 71-strong congregation of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas. Louis Theroux spends time with the family and Steve Drain, a fellow documentary-maker who was so touched by their extreme message that he joined the church.
