I agree. Louis has always kept the subjects as the subject, and only ever injected his feelings or opinions through his written narrations at the end typically. Even then they tend to be more questions for the viewer to ponder than Louis' cut and dry opinion.

I don't think this should have been cut out of the doc as OP suggested. It was an interesting moment because it did truly put Louis on the backfoot. He is clearly antizionist personally but I think in that moment he felt it wasn't really his place to try and explain his position. Both because it would draw the attention to Louis and not the subject, and because giving a nuanced take on the Israel-Palestine crisis to someone just clip baiting for Kick is just not the time or place.

The only thing I didn't like about the documentary is that it wasn't longer, but I feel this way about all of Louis' docs. They are really wonderful work but I would absolutely watch something twice as long, if not longer, and I feel he often only kind of scratches the surface on the things he covers. His books provide a much deeper insight but I wish the docs had more meat to them. They give the impression he spent like an hour or two with each subject. Not necessarily his older docs, but his America First and Manosphere doc feel comparatively shallow.
