I saw this when it premiered earlier this year on HBO. It was mind-numbingly insane. Although, I kind of wish they spent a bit more time on the Scientology "prison camp", I can see why they didn't since HBO could have been bogged down lawsuits.
The largely unregulated status quo which fosters many various perhaps more mundane (for their lack of Hollywood association) religious and non religious Residential Treatment Centers operating with abusive and cultic tactics is the same which allows Scientology to take these kids out to "black sites" and suffer the children to treatment prescribed by L. Ron Hubbard lunacy at the behest of and even helpless objection of completely mind controlled parents.
PS. Someone please get Tom Cruise an appointment with Steve Hassan ASAP

Also, L. Ron Hubbard gives me nightmares.
This was great and something about his slippery smile and black lower teeth scare me to insomnia too, but more focus on SeaOrg as a perfectly legal way to transfer children teens and young adults into servitude of this cult would also have been good. Some survivors of the residential schools which are dedicated to the Scientology indoctrination and abuse of children have a website dedicated to their stories.
