Review of Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief (2015) by Filipe C — 16 Mar 2015
More than offering a horrifying look at the inner works of the Church of Scientology, Alex Gibney's documentary analyzes how doctrines imprison people in their own beliefs, and what the terribly dangerous psychological games that benefit no one except those who attempt to profit from the believers' naïveté.
Gibney truly showcases the nature of man, their lack of capability to deal with the unknown and the forever haunting struggle to be meaningful.
Stunningly researched, crafted and edited, Going Clear is as important of an analysis of religion as Laura Poitras' Citizenfour was of technology, the digital world and freedom.
