Louis Theroux’s first feature-length film will run as a limited screening as part of the 2016 Melbourne International Film Festival.
A revealing, funny and sometimes absurd film, Louis Theroux: My Scientology Movie doesn’t just reiterate known facts and already-told stories, but endeavours to recreate the mindset at the heart of the notorious organisation.
In his first film made for cinema, Theroux takes inspiration from The Act of Killing (MIFF 2013) while retaining his well-loved brand of personable but deadpan scepticism, even when he’s being trailed by Scientology henchmen who claim to be making their own documentary about his actions.

Louis Theroux: My Scientology Movie will screen as part of MIFF 2016. Tickets go on sale Friday July 8.
