Roslyn Cohn, an actress & ex-Scilon didn't like the film.. posted on Facebook..
"How can any of you be endorsing Steven Mango's video when it is not truth! I am pissed right now. I applaud anyone who stands up - but he is so OFF about Milton Katselas and the BHP, he is so OFF about "locking doors" when we watch a film in an Org. There are no locks on the doors when I was at CCNY. Come on! Have you now gone to the other side where you applaud blindly? Come on! I couldn't finish watching...I will after I've cooled down. But the Beverly Hills Playhouse has worked so hard to set the record straight and now this guy goes and not only crucifies Milton - incorrectly - but tells flat out lies!
I think I would need heavy sedation to sit through this...the lies. How he hurt the BHP which has done all they can to clear Milton and his name - that's part of my show...and then this 4 year in *** comes in and shits on it all?!!!! I'm sorry - NO! Dude - research better. I had the heebie geebies in the intro because I smelled falsity. I swear - I feel many are drinking the other Kool-Aid now. Use your minds friends!!"
Panda Termint responded very eloquently:
"My guess is that he's learned a lot those things from research rather than personal experience, Ros, he's a newbie as a critic and has the flaws of a newbie. As regards lock-in Reg/Recruit cycles, they do happen. Someone else, more conversant with the current scene at particular locations, will probably speak to those.
Here's a snippet from Tony O.. "The film particularly drags when Mango is talking about things he has no personal knowledge of — life in the Sea Org, for example, or Leah Remini’s reasons for leaving Scientology. When he’s not on camera, the film often relies on borrowed material from others that Mango didn’t ask permission to use. We asked him about that, and he explained that he’s really just an amateur and was unfamiliar with copyright law and didn’t intend to harm anyone. "

Amongst my friends I'm the only one who actually watched it all. I found it to be excellent overall, particularly for never-ins, in giving a personalised overview of Reg/Recruiting cycles. I'm sure that Steven will eventually arrive at the place where he can admit to being silly and naive to fall for it all."
