Sinopsis
Basado en el célebre libro homónimo de Lawrence Wright, este documental explora las prácticas y los supuestos delitos cometidos por la Iglesia de la Cienciología.
Following a long fascination with the religion and with much experience in dealing with eccentric, unpalatable and unexpected human behavior, the beguilingly unassuming Theroux won't take no for an answer when his request to enter the Church's headquarters is turned down. Inspired by the Church's use of filming techniques, and aided by ex-members of the organization, Theroux uses actors to replay some incidents people claim they experienced as members in an attempt to better understand the way it operates. In a bizarre twist, it becomes clear that the Church is also making a film about Louis Theroux.
Drama sobre la Iglesia de la Cienciología. Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman), un intelectual brillante y de fuertes convicciones, crea una organización religiosa que empieza a hacerse popular en Estados Unidos hacia 1952. Freddie Quell (Joaquin Phoenix), un joven vagabundo, se convierte en su mano derecha. Sin embargo, cuando la secta triunfa y consigue atraer a numerosos y fervientes seguidores, a Freddie le surgirán dudas.
En el año 3000 ya no existen ciudades ni naciones, la Tierra es un yermo desolado y la raza humana está a punto de extinguirse. Desde hace mil años, una malvada raza de alienígenas, los Psychlo, aniquilaron las defensas terrestres y esclavizaron a los hombres. El joven Jonni Goodboy Tyler parece ser la única esperanza de la humanidad.
Scientologists at War examines the independent Scientology movement and the high level defectors who have publicly renounced their membership from the Church of Scientology. Marty Rathbun is one of the most senior defectors in Scientology's history. As the former Inspector General of Ethics in the organisation that was created by science fiction writer L Ron Hubbard, Rathbun worked closely with its leader, David Miscavige, and celebrity follower Tom Cruise. The film provides a rare insider view of the Church of Scientology.
A film that shows how "hard" it is to be son of celebrities.
