Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief (2015)
Great documentary. This was the first thing that opened my eyes to Scientology and how it operates. In the years since, I've read some books by ex-Scientologists and watched all of Leah Remini's show. Revisiting this doc, it does a great job of covering a lot of parts of Scientology as concisely as possible. The pacing is a bit odd as a result but it doesn't suffer. At this point, if you know about Scientology this probably won't tell you anything new but it's a great way in for the unaware. If the topic interests you, the A&E show covers every aspect in greater detail, and is currently in its third season.
