Good look into how much of a scam Scientology is. There is so much more to tell but it only has 2 hours.

I actually liked how this doc showed and explained the Scientology lingo. Also, there's a lot of info about LRH + how terrible he truly was

A good demonstration how a cult can operate pathologically while it's members have any self-awareness or independence of mind.

An expose on a cult thats bilked millions out of its followers and convinced them to commit outrageous acts. It's bound to be fascinating.
