Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief

Exposé of sorts on Scientology and the deconstruction of its claims, as well as Tom Cruise and John Travolta's interaction with the Church, plus some very gripping stories from ex-members that include some pretty cruel acts. While the subject fascinates the masses of non-members, this two-hour HBO documentary based on Lawrence Wright's 2013 book GOING CLEAR: SCIENTOLOGY, Hollywood AND THE PRISON OF BELIEF doesn't really offer an overwhelming amount of new insight that the media hasn't already covered or that its critics haven't already satirized. Its most interesting segment is the rise of found L. Ron Hubbard.
