An up coming Tom Cruise TV documentary got Scientologist in Germany up in arms as the said film . The battle over this TV documentary is heating up three years after German officials had a meltdown over Scientologist Tom Cruise shooting Valkyrie in their land.
The new movie, Until Nothing Remains, is said to be aired at the end of March in German TV . The film maker s said the movie is the true story of Heiner von Rönn who left Scientology and was faced with the break-up of his family after donating huge amounts of money.
A spokesman for Scientology in Germany calls the story "fabricated" and has tried to have it censored. Although the German government eventually relented and allowed Cruise and Valkyrie to shoot at all their desired locations in Germany, officials are not being so accommodating to church members now. They've refused to step in and block the film.

"Scientology is about power, business and building up a network," said the program director for Germany's state broadcaster. "Its lessons are pure science fiction. It's no religion."
