My Scientology Movie - Official Trailer
Magnolia Pictures & Magnet Releasing
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. Suffused with a good dose of humor and moments worthy of a Hollywood script, MY SCIENTOLOGY MOVIE is stranger than fiction.

Mike Rinder's Blog
I was raised a Scientologist from the age of 6 and finally escaped the organization when I was 52. By the age of fifteen I had traveled from Australia with the rest of my family to scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard's home in England twice. The first time in 1966 and then again in 1969. Both occasions were for them to participate in advanced scientology courses and auditing (the scientology term for counseling) only available at Hubbard's international headquarters. They were very dedicated and committed scientologists, and that is how I was raised.
