For more than a year, Nexus has been tracking the connection between the “manosphere” and antisemitism. A new Netflix documentary, Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere, brings that connection into full view.
The film, released on March 11, follows four influencers who have built massive audiences by selling self-improvement, entrepreneurship, and fitness to young men. But beneath the workout clips and hustle culture lies something much darker: misogyny, Holocaust denial, and conspiracy theories about Jewish power. And the audiences consuming this content number in the tens of millions.
