Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief (2015)

Had some information, especially about the life of L. Ron Hubbard that I did not know. I have read about the cult of Scientology for years, but it was even more chilling seeing all of the clips compiled, especially the interview footage of L. Ron Hubbard.

I am even more admiring of Phillip Seymour Hoffman's portrayal in the The Master now.

It's hard to limit the scope of a documentary like this, but I wish there had been some mention of the mystery surrounding Miscavige's wife. For someone completely unfamiliar with the subject, however, it is an excellent introduction and overview of the crazy history of this "religion". I'm glad Paul Haggis participated. He's one that I've always wondered how he could have been sucked in, and he addresses that in the film, basically saying he's learned that everyone has a part of their mind where they can't look too closely at some things.
