A Place for Paedophiles is a British documentary that was televised on 21 April 2009. Produced and presented by Louis Theroux, the documentary ran for 60 minutes,[1] and took place at Coalinga State Hospital, a hospital for paedophiles.[2][3] Theroux was the first film-maker to be allowed to film and interview the inmates at the hospital.[4]
Reception
The program was widely praised for its approach to the subject of paedophilia.[5][6] Leicester Mercury called the programme "a brilliantly-made, well-observed documentary. Fascinating, not sensationalist or sympathetic."[7]
In 2010, Theroux received a Royal Television Society's award in the best presenter category for the documentary.[8][9]
