film about scientology

Recommended Posts

About an hour long docu-drama about scientology.


Facts about the film according to the IMDB website:
Quote

* (Brett Hanover) his is the first critical feature length movie about Scientology. Several ex-Scientologists helped write the film, and it includes actual Scientology materials.

* When searching for Xenu in Google, like the woman did in the movie, Google displays a message below the search results saying the page has been removed from Google's index due to legal action by Scientology.

* This movie was filmed in only five days at a hotel in Norway, to prevent interference by Scientologists.

* Soon after the online release of the film, director Brett Hanover posted on his website that "due to copyright issues, I ask that this film be withdrawn from circulation... Do not contact me concerning this film, I am no longer supporting it".




I just checked Brett Hanover's website. It contains his resume, his photography, and lists of films he has made, but there is no mention of The Bridge. Apparently the Scientologists were able to "persuade" him not to release the film anymore.

Google pulls up lots of references including this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bridge_(Scientology_film)

If it was released to the Internet, there must be copies somewhere even though the producer pulled it.

Did he asked to have it pulled because of pressure from the Church of Scientology or because it's unwatchable? It's like watching the thesis film of an undergrad from a British film school. I'm 1/3 of the way through it, and I've already lost all interest in knowing anything about Scientology.
I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

It's a pretty amateur group. Just using google bombing and small scale ddos attacks. There are very few people/ groups who have the skills and the equipment to go after scientology servers and they are employed doing other things like guarding the state department. They may be able to screw with scientology and piss them off but not bring it down.

Took me a bit to get through it, definitely could have been cut with more movement. The last 10 minutes are very compelling, however.
Was much easier to watch if I was doing other things at the same time, made the lagging parts move along a little better

Agreed. I've actually learned a lot here: I thought they talked about Xenu immediately, not hold that very important piece of information until you are too far into it and have nothing else.
