What Scientologists at War Left Out: Some Annotations on Channel 4's Documentary June 18, 2013, Tony Ortega, Underground Bunker

---

Before Scientologists at War aired last night on Channel 4, the documentary's director, Joe Martin, told us he was looking forward to our review of the film. But we told him that since we had helped with the making of the movie and appeared in it, "reviewing" it would be bad form.

Instead, we're fortunate that so many of our readers contributed their opinions about the documentary. Those comments tell us that Martin and his producers — Danielle Clark and Michael Simkin — put together a film that is creating an interesting debate about independent Scientology, Marty Rathbun's role in it, and the future of the church.

We wanted to add just a few factual asides about the film and the response it's getting.
