The Bridge is a 2006 drama film directed by filmmaker Brett Hanover.[2]

A fictional story of involvement and disillusionment with Scientology, the film explicitly uses Scientology terms throughout, as well as including clips from actual Scientology promotional and training videos. It was released as free use media to the Internet in September 2006 by the filmmaker.[3][4]

The brochure of the Indie Memphis film festival stated that The Bridge was the "first feature film" about the Church Of Scientology.[5] While it is set against the background of the Church of Scientology and the Sea Org, the characters and situations depicted are fictional.
