Scientology: The Ex-Files

Scientology: The Ex-Files reveals the shocking truth behind one of the most provocative and scandal-ridden religious organisations. This film tells the story of Joe Reaiche, a former rugby star. At the age of just 19, while actively searching for an opportunity to realise his talents and potential, he was approached by Scientology, which promised to fulfil his wishes. Reaiche soon became a dedicated and active member of the organisation, marrying and raising a family within the church.

However, after paying almost a quarter of a million dollars in ‘fees’ to Scientology, Reaiche began questioning the church’s dogma and activities. As a result, he was expelled from the church and prohibited from having contact with his wife and children.

Beneath the appealing façade of celebrity endorsements and self-empowerment, Scientology: The Ex-Files argues that Scientology represents a troubling culture of brainwashing tactics, physical and psychological abuse, and painstaking indoctrination.
