Law and Disorder in Johannesburg
# Law and Disorder in Johannesburg

Law and Disorder in Johannesburg is a Louis Theroux documentary about the crime and private security situation in Johannesburg, South Africa. Theroux travels with heavily armed private security contractors who fill a security vacuum left by the government's inability to provide adequate security via normal means, such as policing. Theroux also meets with local people at the Black township level, who practice vigilantism against suspected criminals.

## Reception

The Leicester Mercury described the programme as "a tense, depressing and occasionally gobsmacking film shot in a city plucked from the pages of some kind of dystopian novel."
