My Scientology Movie

THE GIST: An investigation into the seemingly unsavory practices going on behind the scenes at the infamous Church of Scientology runs into the expected stumbling blocks and bold-faced bullying.

My Scientology Movie is a good documentary and an important exposé that paints a damning picture of what is probably the biggest scam people have fallen for in the history of organized religions.

This is closer to a cult than a religion.

Just the facts that Scientology was invented by a sci-fi writer a few decades ago and that its leadership allegedly treats adherents more like imprisoned slaves than a legion of faithful, should be enough to make anyone go, No thank you!

Instead, there are thousands of people who keep pouring their savings into the church's coffers in the hopes of a form of salvation that clearly will never materialize.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Definitely worth a look, even just to be more aware of an organization that enjoys tax-free status like other organized religions and immense power.
