Summary:
A provocative tale of ego, exploitation and lust for power, Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief shines a light on the Church of Scientology, how they attract true believers, and the things they do in the name of religion. The film profiles eight former members of the Church of Scientology, exploring the psychological impact of blind faith, how the church attracts new followers and keeps hold of its A-list celebrity devotees.
