Scientology Reps Slam ‘Going Clear’ After Well-Received Sundance Debut

After Alex Gibney’s new documentary, “Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief,” debuted to a standing ovation at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, representatives for the Church of Scientology slammed the film as “false information.”

As for the film itself, critics were enamored with Gibney’s work. “Going Clear” was hailed as “jaw-dropping” and a “game changer.” It will air on HBO in March. “We have probably 160 lawyers [looking at the film],” HBO’s president of documentary films, Sheila Nevins, told The Hollywood Reporter in December.
