| Mary
DeMoss and members of The Foundation for
Religious Tolerance picketed the set, handed
out Dead-Agent Packs (smear material) and
investigated and visited the homes of crew
members working on the film.
Six
days before shooting was to be finished
on the movie, I.A.T.S.E. (The International
Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees)
shut the set down with an illegal picket.
Did
Scientology exert pressure on the union
to shut the film down? The answer
is not yet clear but for weeks prior to
the Union strike, the Scientologists picketed
the set. When the union picket began,
the Scientologists stopped their overt efforts.
The
film has since been seen theatrically
in Clearwater and has an official
website.
