Hello and welcome.
You've probably heard of Scientology.
In fact, every 6 seconds,
someone searches the question, "What is Scientology?"
There's a lot of talk about us.
And we get it. People are curious.
Well, we want to answer your questions.
Because, frankly, whatever you have heard,
if you haven't heard it from us,
I can assure you
we are not what you expect.
So, while I could tell you,
Scientology is new.
Our approach is new.
Our answers are new.
And, that Scientology is not just something you believe in.
It's something you do.
Well, I'm sure you would much rather just see for yourself.
And that's what the Scientology Network is all about.
To show you inside Scientology.
Who we are. What Scientology is.
And, what Scientology can do.
Scientology is a dynamic and expanding religion.
And we're going to be showing you all of it.
For instance, I'm standing in our Spiritual Headquarters.
And we'll take you through all of it.
Likewise, we'll take you into our Churches
spanning 167 countries on six continents.
We'll also take you behind the scenes and into
our Church management,
publications and dissemination facilities,
humanitarian outreach centers and programs,
and even into our new millennium Scientology archives.
But even still, there remains the question
of why so many people are Scientologists
and, why they are so passionate about it?
In answer to that question you'll meet Scientologists
from all walks of life:
Firefighters to factory workers,
doctors to CEOs,
and, yes, some of the most well-known
artists and celebrities in the world.
You'll see Scientology in practice:
Our values and beliefs,
our technology of auditing,
our E-Meter,
everything.
Finally, we'll answer the question as to
how Scientology came to be the only major religion
founded in the 20th Century.
And that's the story of our Founder, L. Ron Hubbard.
A true-to-life genius,
and, an honest to God, modern-day Renaissance man.
But, with all that, let's be clear.
We're not here to preach to you,
to convince you,
or, to convert you. No.
We simply want to show you.
Because, after all, the first principle of Scientology is that
"It's only true if it is true for you."
So, take a look.
And then, decide for yourself.
I'm David Miscavige.
And this is the Scientology Network.
CHURCH STAFF: I see a lot of this,
where they put their hands over their eyes
and look inside the window.
And they're like, "What is this?"
Once you actually start talking to somebody about it,
they're like "Just ok, what is Scientology?"
"Oh, well what brought you in here?" "I'm just curious."
So what this is, is called an e-meter.
It's the cutting edge of spiritual technology.
CHURCH STAFF: What it represents for Scientologists
all over the world. Always has and always will,
is spiritual freedom.
CHURCH STAFF: Here at Golden Era Productions we produce
all the films of Scientology and we also have
one of the largest studios in North America
[♪ ♪]
CHURCH STAFF: What we produce is not just a book,
it's not just a lecture,
it's all the knowledge that's inside.
CHURCH STAFF: When we consulted with the British Museum,
the National Archives, we wanted to find out
how do the best archivists in the world do things.
The biggest barrier was actually
finding technology that would last.
So we had to push technology and invent technology
in order to do that.
CHURCH STAFF: Scientology Media Productions
is a very unique studio.
Everything is under one roof.
We produce all of the content
and programming for the Scientology Network.
So we have quite a variety of different shows.
The biggest joy is to create something new.
So we create extraordinary solutions
for extraordinary spaces.
This is where we have equipment that comes from production.
You can create all kinds of special effects.
This is the sexiest bike in the world.
I remember that moment well.
Not knowing what I want to do.
We just wanted a band that was fun.
[Light saber sound]
Ow!
It's like a feeling of freedom.
[cheering]
I am a comedian, I am a Scientologist.
I'm a veterinarian.
We are both designers.
I'm a motion control engineer.
I played 10 seasons in the NFL.
I'm a horse trainer.
We're the Jive Aces and we're all Scientologists.
Original Series Destination: Scientology
I grew up right here in South Central
so I've been tied to the streets.
The culture here it's so rich
and so fragile at the same time.
CHURCH STAFF: I want Melbourne to be drug-free,
crime-free, just want it to be the ideal city.
Scientology saved my life and I felt like
I was able to give it to somebody else
and it was this domino effect.
People are searching
and this is one of the places they'll come to find answers.
It's actually making a difference in the world.
That's what it's all about.
L. RON HUBBARD: Well if it's not true for you, it's not true.
I find it's a very good statement.
It agreed with my own personal philosophy
very well because if there's anybody in the world
that's calculated to believe
what he wants to believe and to reject
what he doesn't want to believe, it is I.
[♪ ♪]
L. RON HUBBARD: The biggest right there is,
is not the right to vote.
Is not the right to freedom of speech or press
or religion or anything else.
The biggest right there is in human rights
is the right to help.
Well is now time for a peace movement.
It's now time to call everybody onto this movement!
The cure for our children as far as their education
is to make them quiet.
So this is tragic.
That's why we are out there educating,
being the voice for those who don't have a voice.
To see the impact you can have on others
and how you can get others to change.
It allows me to know that
I'm not the only one out on this battlefield
fighting this battle.
I would just say to anybody, you know.
If you're gonna do something, you know,
if you're really gonna do something,
go educate yourself on it beforehand.
Get the facts, check the statistics.
Find out the actual truth of what these are
and what they're going to do to your life.
Find out for yourself.

HOST: Hello and welcome once again to Freedom TV.
Today we are going to take you inside
the dark world of human trafficking.
I warn you up front, this is some pretty sickening stuff.
It became a tipping point
and that's why we knew
we had to get out and do something about it.
[♪ ♪]
There's nothing really much more fulfilling
than helping people.
That's our passion.
One person that you help turns into three people,
turns into ten, turns into a whole city.
[♪ ♪]
That's why we are out there fighting
until every single person is free
