hello I am working for a documemtary on Landmark and I need to gather information on the subject. I need personal Canadian storyies about their Forum.

So if you are willing to share your story, please [private message] me as soon as possible. Of course everything you tell me will be confidential.

I am looking forward to hear from you.

Valérie,
You cannot engage in private messaging until you have posted 10 times in the Cult Education Forum.
But feel free to check out the wealth of information and discussion in other related threads on this topic - Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

Also, do you have a website and name of your company, that might list more information about the production staff?

Anyone besides me smell something fishy about this post?

It appears that the name given is of someone working in documentary media, usually in french.

[www.google.com]

They should post a link to a website with a company office, and then people could contact that way. Of course, as soon as Landmark hears about it, they would try to flood the documentary with Landmark True Believers to try to control the process.
On the other hand, maybe this could be like the other french video?

yup.

... and a bit strange that she hasn't responded any further. Perhaps when she comes up for air!

she's a ringer...

my view is I would not jump to any conclusions until further evidence comes in one way or another about the documentary this person is working on. The credits that come up for that name are legit sources, and appear to mainly operate in the french language in another country.
If they are posting on this type of forum, they are clearly looking for those who have some criticisms.
That being said, caution is warranted, so a person could simply contact a person like that, but not link to any online comments, and to check things out with the documentary company.

That being said, its critical that Valérie Beauquier posts a lot more detail, and more specific contact information.
She and her company have to understand how ruthless and vicious Landmark has been to people, and thatthey have gone after this very forum to try to find out who people are!!

The assumption that there could be a "fake documentary" being staged with a fake name, to gather information about "enemies of Landmark" is a legit concern, based on the horrible actions Landmark has taken even very recently. They are extremely dangerous, and terribly dishonest.

So one would hope that Valérie Beauquier is aware of how sensitive this is, so the producers are going to have to be more detailed, and set up a correct process to meet and interview people, that protects them as well.

I second Anticult here, couldn't have said this any better myself. Though I would doubt Landmark or any other controversial group would act this way, it would be comforting to see a company website with Valérie Beauquier's listed information, or some more description about her organization.

actually, I am not tooo concerned:
1) it was directly asked for Canadians, and as far as I can see there are not many Canadians active at least on a regular basis?

2) as a former participant at Landmark (not staff member) I am allowed to tell my opinion about Landmark. They would
maybe try to get me "off it"
or am I wrong?
