Documentaire sur L'église de la Scientologie: "Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief"

HBO lançait ce mois-ci un documentaire sur l'Église de la Scientologie. Le document est vivement critiqué par l'organisation et HBO compte sur une équipe de 160 avocats. Le documentaire aborde différentes facettes de l'Église de la Scientologie dont la présence de vedettes comme Tom Cruise et John Travolta.

 "One particularly fascinating subject that the documentary tackles is the relationship between celebrities and the church, which has been well-documented particularly with two of its most famous members: John Travolta and Tom Cruise. The film goes into detail about how much Scientology leader David Miscavige relies on star power to recruit new members and raise money."

The Church of Scientology — worth billions of dollars — is considered tax-exempt by the Internal Revenue Service, which waged a nasty battle with the church for years before giving up and declaring it a non-profit religious organization in 1993. As Wright says in “Going Clear,” there are only two ways to stop the church. One: The IRS could change its mind and start looking into finances. The other? “Some of these celebrity megaphones could turn against the church,” says Wright. “And Tom Cruise should be leading that chorus.”
