La Quinta, where in 1976 Mr. Hubbard began establishing a film studio.

1976-1979:
Mr. Hubbard moves to a southern California desert ranch in La Quinta and establishes, trains and supervises a film production unit. Over the following three years he writes not only a feature-length screenplay, Revolt in the Stars, but also the scripts for 33 Scientology instructional films.

During this same three-year period he also shoots, directs and produces seven films which are used in training Scientology counselors.

Mr. Hubbard discovers that drugs remain in the body even years after usage has ceased. Consequently, he develops the Purification Rundown to rid the body of harmful residual substances. Coupled with his 1969 discoveries, his development of the drug rehabilitation program is now complete. These techniques used by churches of Scientology and drug rehabilitation organizations around the world, allow anyone to free himself from the debilitating effects of drugs.

It is also in 1979 that he isolates and solves the problem of increasing illiteracy. His discoveries and solutions later become the published Key to Life course—widely acclaimed for its miraculous results.
