Dear Alex,
Remember that runaway hit documentary you did called "GOING CLEAR"?
I recall you said you have enough material to make Part II. Cool.
But, wanna know something even more amazing?
A documentary (based on the book) called "IF HE DIES, HE DIES" on the sociopathic, violent, fraudulent, sadistic life of cult leader David Miscavige.
It would have all kinds of cool scenes, including but not limited to: Psychological torture, paranoia filled rages, physical assaults on Scientology executives, kidnappings & imprisonment of Scientologists, Fair Game felonies, harassment of critics, terrorizing innocent people because they tried to expose the truth about Scientology, billion dollar slush funds, financial rape of parishioners who lost their savings, homes and businesses, unconscionable inurements (e.g. buying $2000 pairs of John Lobb shoes) and living a billionaire life style while forcing worldwide staff to live in 12 cents an hour wage, sub-poverty conditions and not providing any way for staff to seek dental/medical care except through state charity. And when the Scientologists are too old and sick to produce, kicking them out on the street at old age, with nothing.
Yes, it's a great story that the world needs to hear.
And, by the way, as long as you are crafting, directing and producing Oscar winning documentaries, would you mind doing yet another one with Tony Ortega and Paulette Cooper?
