3. Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief

The Church of Scientology has gone absolutely bananas over the release of Going Clear — a documentary that investigates the controversial religion’s downright disturbing practices, methods and values.

Often cited in social circles as a brainwashing and cultist phenomenon, Scientology doesn’t have the kindest rep, and this upcoming documentary feature created by Alex Gibney recruits former Scientologists to discover the hidden secrets of the religion that are only unveiled to members.

To say that these interviewees are less than kind to their former place of worship is an understatement, and campaigners within the school have scrambled across media to denounce the film, even taking out a full page spread in the NY Times claiming how the info was all falsified.

Reaction has been fierce, and Scientology is set to take a catastrophic blow when Going Clear receives its HBO premiere in March.

Expect a livid Tom Cruise to pop up any moment now…
