My Scientology Movie (2016)
, 1h39Origin United-kingdom
Genres Documentary
Themes Films about religion, Documentary films about religion
Actors Louis Theroux, Paz de la Huerta, Tom Cruise
After the Church of Scientology refuses to cooperate in making a documentary, Louis Theroux teams up with former senior church official Mark Rathbun to create dramatic reconstructions of incidents within the church witnessed by Rathbun and other ex-Scientologists. They focus in particular on alleged violent behaviour by the church's leader David Miscavige at its secretive Gold Base facility in California, which Theroux visits. The church retaliates by putting Theroux and his film crew under surveillance, leading to camera-wielding confrontations with a Scientology "squirrel buster" team and with church officials outside Gold Base. Theroux raises questions about Rathbun's own former complicity in the church's "terroristic" activities, leading to tensions between the two men.

Ce documentaire a la particularité « de confronter directement des victimes de prêtres pédophiles, en caméra cachée, avec leurs agresseurs ». Il « met en cause la hiérarchie épiscopale dans la faiblesse — voire l’absence — des sanctions dans les cas de pédophilie », dénonçant l'hypocrisie de l'église polonaise et l'impunité des prêtres agresseurs.
