No trailer yet that I can find...

Quote :
"Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief is a 2015 documentary film about Scientology directed by Alex Gibney, based on Lawrence Wright's 2013 book, Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood and the Prison of Belief. Produced by HBO, the film premiered at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. It received widespread praise from critics for its deconstruction of the church's claims through a combination of presenting a condensed history of Scientology and its founder, how celebrities interact with the church, the stories of a number of ex-members and the abuse and exploitation that they described seeing and experiencing. The church responded vehemently to the film, complaining to film critics about their reviews and denouncing the film-makers and their interviewees. Going Clear will run on HBO from March 16, 2015."

read the first part of the book, author was pretty insightful on why he and others were attracted to Scientology in terms of motivation (although pretty much all religions are the same level of whack-o for me)

I also read about half the book. Honestly reminded me of The Master, almost scene for scene. Don't really feel compelled to watch that again, but in summation, Scientologists be cray

Yah IIRC The Master was based on the beginnings of Scientology
