The crowd's all here: What does the airing of the Scientology doc 'Going Clear' mean to you? March 29, 2015, Tony Ortega, Underground Bunker

---

It's the day that many people have been waiting for. Tonight, at 8 pm Eastern time, HBO will broadcast Alex Gibney's two-hour documentary on Scientology, Going Clear. All week we've been counting down the days by talking to people who appear in the film. Today, we're talking to the rest of you. We asked many familiar names in the Underground Bunker to tell us what it means to them that this documentary is reaching such a large audience today. And in the comments, we want to hear from the rest of our great community about how you're feeling about tonight's event.

(A programming note: At 5 pm Eastern, make sure to refresh your browsers as we put up our live-blogging post for the evening.)

Paulette Cooper: What I dreamed about and worked on for years in the 1970s and 1980s — for people to know the truth about Scientology — has finally been happening, and tonight will be the best of all. I can't wait to see the documentary. I was so anxious I considered flying to New York to see it in the theater during its short run!
