Welcome to THE PROFIT website. This is the controversial new film about a cult leader's rise to power.
L. Conrad Powers organizes a cult of deluded adherents then, when the government applies the heat, he turns his operation into a church.
The Church of Scientology harrassed the filmmakers during shooting and post-production. Then, after a successful test screening, the Church of Scientology stated in sworn court testimony that it was their intention that "THE PROFIT" should "Never see the light of day".
Now the Scientologists have obtained a court order preventing further screenings of THE PROFIT. This court order constitutes prior restraint of free speech, which is contrary to the Constitution of the United States. This prior restraint is a first-- there has never been a similiar court order preventing the showing of the film IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES.
What kind of film could provoke such an attack?
