Scientology has been mocked in the popular media ever since Tom Cruise publicly expressed his love for it, and now, with the film 'Knowledgy,' we have an opinion on the other side of the spectrum. 'Knowledgy' is a comedic film, directed by Kristín Bára Haraldsdóttir and Hrefna Hagalín and starring Leo Fitzpatrick, that also delves into the reasons behind why cults are so enticing to many.
Despite the fact that 'Knowledgy' is a form of entertainment, the Icelandic directing duo hopes to invite serious discussion about the Church of Scientology.
