Panorama - Scientology and Me (2007)

"Scientology and Me is the name of a controversial television documentary conducted by reporter John Sweeney, which aired on the BBC programme, Panorama on 14 May 2007. The programme gained particular controversy before and during filming due to unresolved differences on content and approach between Sweeney's production team and Scientology members, who did not want detractors or enemies of the church, who were included in the aired version to be interviewed in the documentary."

Love the parts when the spokesman for the Scientology says, "I want to make sure this is documented" in two different scenes. Of course it is, it's a BBC special report. Albeit, he does begin cordial then becomes agitated as the story investigation carries on in a direction that seems to be more critical of Scientology and its members rather than for them.
Interesting things were, that the reporter kind of proves his point that Scientology has something to hide and can be dangerous to society, He documents Scientology's members following him in attempted secrecy, tracking him, watching him and the reporter was able to document that all. Then when confronted, the Scientology member blocks his face and drives away, as well as the other fellow that seemed to follow him for days. From this evidence and other footage, it is no wonder the public and many governments are wary of Scientology and its members. Interesting and entertaining piece overall.
