I was a Philosophy major in my undergraduate studies. I worked in the film industry, mostly in Hollywood, for decades and am a profession writer by trade. When it comes to film, I'm what you'd call "A tough audience". I don't know exactly what I expected this short film to be, but it definitely exceeded my expectations.
For one thing, I found the work impressively well crafted. It was pleasing to watch and to listen to.
I was taken with how straightforward the data was presented about Scientology, its practices and about Hubbard, the founder. Rather than trying to side step the controversy over the subject, it put the controversy directly on the table and did, to my thinking, an excellent and credible job of allowing the viewer to reach his own conclusions. It claims to have discovered and refined the long sought after technology that can assist a person to move out of his current condition and evolve to higher states of being within his own lifetime.
Sounds good. I'm going to look into it further.
I highly recommend this short film to anyone who has strong interest in learning more about Scientology or spiritual development in general.
At the very least its an enlightening experience presented in a high quality fashion
