About this movie: The Church of Scientology, has obtained an injunction against the showing of the independent film The Profit. (Internet Movie Database entry here.) Scientology is currently facing a lawsuit for the abuse and wrongful death of one of its members, Lisa McPherson, who died while being held against her will at the cult's headquarters in Clearwater, Florida. The supposed purpose of the injunction is to prevent influencing the jury pool in that upcoming trial. However, Senior Circuit Judge Robert E. Beach did not stop there. He crossed out the proposed language limiting the scope of the injunction to the geographical jurisdiction of his court. The injunction he issued in April 2002 applied worldwide, and continues to this day! It has completely prevented release of the film. This type of denial of First Amendment rights is unprecedented in the history of US cinema. The Profit was written and directed by Peter Alexander, who spent 20 years in the Scientology cult and gave over $1 million to the organization. Alexander is a former executive at Universal City Studios, and was the creator of several famous theme park rides, including Back to the Future, Jaws, and ET. He and his crew suffered intense harassment from Scientology agents while making the film. Alexander's ex-wife, Scientologist Jolie Kanat (author of the book "Bittersweet Baby") continues to abet the cult in its harassment campaign against him via their hate site, "Religious Freedom Watch". When The Profit debuted at Cannes in 2001, all the copies of the trailers were stolen

Because this is a dramatatisation of how LR Hubbard actually did when he presented the first "clear." Read "Bare faced Messiah" it's free online, just Google it.

charlatanism is nothing new! I say Go Scientology, so long as no laws are broken it is not different than any other wacky belief system that many people seem to need in their lives. So much of this; all of the titles, acronyms, and the overt science fiction elements (and militaristic, wasnt hubbard kicked out of the Navy? Man!!)and they are so over the top with the sci-fi it reminds me of the Heaven Gate people! It is difficult to take seriously - wow the world is a scary place. Alex (14yrs old)
