Watch Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief
Filmmaker Alex Gibney interviews former members of the Church of Scientology, gives us an in-depth look at the inner-workings of the Church of Scientology, reveals abuses and strange practices within the controversial organization.
There is order and selection, of course - to say that this is storytelling is not to impugn its parts - but much of what he has to show you is remarkable in or out of this context.
While he doesn't really uncover much that's new in "Going Clear," the way he's collected and assembled testimonials, documents and archival footage creates a cumulative effect that's chilling.
Whether you come away seeing Scientology as a cult that ensnares vulnerable people or as a faith of self-empowerment, the film leaves a terrible taste of too much information. This must be its point, but take heed just the same.
