Until nothing remains is a German television film from 2010, a story based on countless reports of dropouts that criticizes the Scientology sect .
The film is a teamWorx production in coproduction with Südwestrundfunk , ARD Degeto and Norddeutscher Rundfunk ; he was funded by the Hamburg Schleswig-Holstein Film Funding (FFHSH). The producers are Nico Hofmann and Benjamin Benedict.
Emergence
The film cost 2.5 million euros. It is the first project by a German television broadcaster to turn the controversial Scientology issue into fictional material. Concerned about legal action by the Church of Scientology , the film was shot under the code name Tatort : "The Dead in the Sound" . After it became known, Scientology responded with a press conference and its own counter-film . The first took the repetition of the film out of the program on the day after the premiere, as the film could not be broadcast in the morning for reasons of youth protection.
At the Berlin film premiere, SWR television film director Carl Bergengruen declared that he had deliberately produced a feature film on the sensitive subject of Scientology, as more people could be reached in this way than with a documentary.
action
The fictional film shows how a family comes into contact with Scientology and how it ultimately affects their entire life. When the protagonist Frank Reiners wants to leave the Church of Scientology, a dispute breaks out between him and his wife, who remains a Scientology member, about custody of their child. The film plays as a flashback from the courtroom.
reception
The first broadcast of the film on March 31, 2010 at 8:15 pm saw 8.69 million viewers (market share: 27.1%), twice as many as usual with other Wednesday films in the first. The group of 14 to 49 year olds reached 2.20 million viewers and a 17.3% market share.
Scientology described the production as an "absolute propaganda film".
The talk show “ Hard but fair ” on the subject of Scientology, broadcast after the film , also achieved a comparatively high rate: 7.47 million viewers ensured a market share of 28.3%, which was the highest reach ever achieved by the show. In it the spokesman for the organization commented on the film. During the usual web broadcast of the talk show, the editorial team was no longer able to offer documenting clips on the organization's procedures for legal reasons. They were hidden with a reference to the legal situation.
The film was also the main topic on the day it was broadcast on Deutschlandfunk . There were interviews with the filmmaker Niki Stein , as well as with the Berlin journalist Frank Nordhausen and the Hamburg Scientology expert Ursula Caberta .
The article Operating Thetans by Marc Felix Serrao appeared in the Süddeutsche Zeitung on March 31st .
On February 29, 2012 the film was broadcast again at 8:15 p.m. in the first program of ARD and on May 31, 2016 in WDR.
Reviews
“A very quiet, dramatically convincing (television) film, shot with the greatest possible secrecy and under a title pseudonym. The abundance of facts and details chokes his breath a little towards the end, but it remains consistently exciting, also because Scientology was fictitiously negotiated here for the very first time ever in a German film, the narrated material is therefore 'unused'. "
