Well the cult may not be in Nebraska or Africa but it exists in Germany. There was a movie based on a true story on public television in 2010 and it had to be shot in secrecy because the film makers were so afraid of the cult and their legal team. The man's story, the movie is based on, shows that they use intimidation, hard labor for almost no money, stalking and harassment here in Germany. The man lost custody of his children because his ex-wife and Scientology managed to alienate the children from their father and hired the best possible lawyers. All that happens here in Europe far away from the glamor of Hollywood. Here is an article about the production process of the movie: Based on a True Story:TV Movie Portrays Dark Side of Scientology
I think Scientology operates where people with money are. Maybe that's the reason why they don't do mission work in poorer parts of the world.
Going back to the documentary. I had heard most of it before but the IRS stuff was new to me. To me it's unbelievable that they managed to manipulate this organization like they did.
