Drama Critical of Scientology to Be Shown on German TV
 |
The film was made under a cover title, owing to fears that Scientology adherents might attempt to interfere. Scientologists have already protested the film as propaganda at a press screening in Hamburg. There's not much else they can do: In Germany, unlike here in the U.S., Scientology is classified as a business rather than a religion, and is subject to investigations by the state.
Scientology is rarely treated in American entertainments, except indirectly via satire (as in Bowfinger) or proselytization (as in Battlefield Earth).
