Jesus Camp (2006), Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady
3.5/5
I found this documentary about the Evangelical Christian children's summer camps profoundly disturbing and yet fascinating. While the documentary style itself is retrained and doesn't take a position per se, this makes it rather stark and rudderless. Some amazing and distrubing footage of Ted Haggard and leaders in the Christian political movement as well as crazy footage of children preaching, crying and speaking in "tongues". Overall this film is interesting although it's weakness is a lack of much counterpoint except for a Christian radio presenter who opposes the Evangelical influence in government.
