A new Louis Theroux documentary about settlers on the West Bank has led to impartial fear of concern in the midst of concern that the wife of the presenter has expressed a strong opinion about Israel.
BBC2 program, Louis Theroux: The Settlers, will meet the 'large and growing ultra-nationalist community' of Israeli settlers that are located in the area.
The documentary is made by Theroux's production company Mindhouse, which he has co-founder with his wife Nancy Strang and another person.
But the concern about the project has been discussed because of the public views of Mrs. Strang about Israel and Palestine.
A critic said it was 'amazing' that the BBC had commissioned the program of a company led by someone who had criticized the BBC because he was 'in pro-Israel'.
Mrs. Strang, the creative director of Mindhouse, has put her name on statements that are critical of Israel.

It has emerged that she was a signer of a statement by film workers for Palestine, who accuses Israel of 'genocide' in Gaza.
In January it will be shown that she has put her name on a 'Palestinian coalition statement' that condemn police attempts to stop a mars protesting on the BBC.
Mrs. Strang is also mentioned as a signer of a 'letter for Gaza' last November, to put BBC bosses to top bosses, to denounce how broadcasters had covered Gaza and said that the Israel had not called to account.
Omroep and journalist Jonathan Sacerdoti, who is also a campaigner against anti -Semitism, said the mail: 'It is amazing that the BBC has given a documentary about Israeli settlers of a production company led by a production company led by someone who has attacked the BBC for supposedly also pro-Israël-a statement that the BBC itself denies. '
He added: “The decision of the BBC to give this film, despite clear concern about bias, only strengthens the perception that when it comes to Israel, her dedication to fair and balanced report is fully tradable.”
The BBC says that the new program will show what happens if Theroux 'includes itself on the West Bank,' prominent settlers' and 'Traveling through the territory'.
It says that he also discovers that the settlers 'already make plans' to move to Gaza.
Theroux said he was interested in 'ideologists and fundamentalists of all stripes'.
The settlements are considered illegal under international law.
A spokesperson for BBC said: 'Nancy Strang is not involved in this project. Multi-award winning journalist and documentary maker Louis Theroux is supported in this film by an experienced team that has been working in the region for more than a decade. It will fully meet BBC editorial guidelines for impartiality. '
