Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A growing number of Evangelical Christians believe there is a revival underway in America that requires Christian youth to assume leadership roles in advocating the causes of their religious movement.
Jesus Camp, directed by Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady (The Boys of Baraka), follows Levi, Rachael, and Tony to Pastor Becky Fischer's "Kids on Fire" summer camp in Devil's Lake, North Dakota, where kids as young as 6-years-old are taught to become dedicated Christian soldiers in "God's army."
The film follows these children at camp as they hone their "prophetic gifts" and are schooled in how to "take back America for Christ." The film is a first-ever look into an intense training ground that recruits born-again Christian children to become an active part of American's political future.
Review:
"It stares into the face of faith run amok, and for those willing to follow its gaze, it provides sad revelations." San Francisco Chronicle
Review:
"Often funny...but it's also a scary, sobering inside look at the attempts of an increasingly powerful group to erode the separation of church and state." Washington Post
Review:
"What Ewing and Grady have accomplished here is remarkable — capturing the visceral humanity, desire and unflagging political will of a religious movement." Chicago Tribune
Review:
"I spent a lot of years studying the teachings of Jesus in Catholic grammar school, and I think Jesus would be appalled by what goes on in the these camps." Richard Roeper
Synopsis:
Examines an evangelical Christian summer camp for children in North Dakota.

This is a documentary inside American fundamentalism where you actually get to follow the life of two kids who attended a "Jesus Camp". Everyone seemed pleased with the making of this movie. I grew up going to church camp each summer, and I must say this is an excellent inside look at what goes on during camp and beyond. This was nominated for an Academy Award, and once you view it, you will understand why. Depending on your convictions, you'll either think this is a wonderful way to get children involved or you'll find it truly frightening. An abolutely must see for anyone.
