The Profit is a feature film written and directed by Peter N. Alexander. The film premiered at the
Cannes Film Festival in France in 2001. Distribution of the film was prohibited by an American
court order which was a result of a lawsuit brought by the
Church of Scientology, although the filmmaker says that the film is not about Scientology. As a result,
The Disinformation Book Of Lists and
The Times have characterized
The Profit as a
banned film in the United States.
