Going Clear wins Peabody Award

Guessing Scientology goes hard copy cause of the restrictions on their members about internet access....and that just makes sense from their standpoint.

As for Gibney, he dedicated his award for Going Clear to "all the brave men and women who came forward to testify about the human rights abuses in the Church of Scientology." He also took a minute to remark on the anachronistic and "impressive" ways the church responded to his exposé about the controversial religion.

"In this age of Instagram and Twitter, so much electronic communication, if you really want to get a lot of hard-copy letters, make a film about Scientology," said Gibney. "The amount of legal missiles directed at us was impressive, and it was to the credit of HBO both on an editorial level and a legal level to support and protect people who are trying to tell an important story."
