Scientology The Big Lie

When Mitch Brisker first arrived at the doorstep of Scientology’s infamous Celebrity Centre in Los Angeles, he was a 23 year old heroin-addicted film school drop-out. He survived addiction only to become entangled in the identity stealing cult known as Scientology. Earning a degree in cinema from California Institute of the Arts, Mitch went on to become a successful commercial director. His work caught the eye of Scientology’s notorious leader, David Miscavige, and he ultimately became the chief architect of Scientology’s global propaganda machine. Three decades later he left the cult and began speak out about the abuses he witnessed and suffered. Mitch describes Scientology as a global crime scene happening in real time. This is his story.
