Scientology presents itself as a scientific approach to spiritual
enlightenment, but its activities have long been shrouded in
mystery and controversy. Now Pulitzer Prize-winning author Lawrence
Wright - armed with his investigative talents, years of archival
research, and more than two hundred personal interviews with
current and former Scientologists - uncovers the inner workings of
the church. We meet founder L. Ron Hubbard, the science-fiction
writer turned prophet, and his tough, driven successor David
Miscavige. We learn about the church's specialised cosmology and
language, its legal attacks on the IRS, its vindictive treatment of
critics, and its phenomenal wealth. We see the church court
celebrities such as Tom Cruise while consigning its clergy to hard
labour under billion-year contracts. Through it all, Wright asks
what makes a religion, and whether Scientology in fact merits this
constitutionally protected label. Now an award-winning HBO
documentary film, Going Clear pulls back the curtain on one of the
most secretive organisations at work today.
