Introduction

This French documentary goes inside the Landmark Education Forum in Paris to film it firsthand with hidden cameras. After this documentary was broadcast nationally in France Landmark left the country.

    • Watch and experience for yourself the Forum.

    • See a French Forum leader bring a woman to tears, after berating her before a crowded room of Forum participants. He calls her an "asshole" and taunts the woman while she is crying.

    • A “brainwashing expert” explains how Landmark “breaks a person” and labels its methods "totalitarian."

    • Learn why the French consider Landmark a "sect."

    • See a former Scientologist compare Landmark to her "sect."

    • Landmark’s method of “education” is labeled “emotional abuse.”

  • See Landmark “volunteers” doing everything from working the phones to scrubbing the bathroom floor for free.
