We Stand Tall

We Stand Tall is a 1990 music video produced by the Church of Scientology. It features many individuals, including current Scientology leader, David Miscavige. Many of the participants have either come to publicly criticize the practices of the Church or have disappeared.[1][2][3]

The video features Miscavige, Mike Rinder, Marty Rathbun, Heber Jentzsch, and Shelly Miscavige.

Reception

The video was parodied by Saturday Night Live (with the organization's name changed to "Neurotology" for the video), updated with supposed on-screen annotations as to where each individual in the music video currently resides and what they're up to. Many of the footnotes are satirical towards Scientology – "missing" is often used in the video, an alleged reference to individuals like Michele Miscavige,[4] who some have alleged is missing, while others claim she has been imprisoned by the Church.[5]
