B B. @BethBrown Jun 2, 2026 Levi said, "America is supposed to be a God nation but alot of people don't believe in God." Out of the mouths of babes. See more Francis S @Francis101 Mar 17, 2025 Scarier than a horror movie. Shot with balance and respect, the directors use the camera as a testimony of the evangelical christian community and a particularly indoctrinating summer camp without forgetting some meaningful shot that visualize the hard content the film proposes.

No doubt earnest in the grasped facts within their maintained beliefs while this film, without straying from the objective, managed to present both sides of the argument including witnessing the indoctrination process amidst youth's growth presented as a cinematically documented brochure, which unveils the conflict via hence the misconception. It remains close to the titular camp's processive narrative, but in a conflicting, questionable light including the verbal deliverance without much context to solidify the concreteness. The present engagement, if too compelled with also an open mind, could find how badly it got dated, in a form of a betrayal, as part of the other thought regarding an interesting update on the involving figures in the undeniably-associated political climates. Beliefs come and go at times politically connected more or less to none, as it's about individualism between good and bad paths, and this undoubtedly divisive documentary does provide insightful glimpses under general senses towards child development to consider. However, when thinking about the Christianity connections the faction tried to sell, there's clearly indoctrination that doesn't convince otherwise as it originates the perceptually contrived delivery surrounding a number of Christian pictures while few others are actually blessed.

See more dave s @RT68722908 Apr 13, 2022 Over the years, if history has taught us one thing it is the fact that blind faith is dangerous. This has never been more evident than in Jesus Camp, a documentary that explores the quest of fundamentalist Christians in America to shamelessly brainwash their children into their faith for political gain. Equal parts infuriating, shocking and saddening, it follows pastor Becky Fischer as she indoctrinates children, like lambs led to the slaughter, at her ‘Kids on Fire' summer camp in North Dakota. What is equally unsettling (and a testament to the objectivity of the filmmakers) is the fact that the fundamentalists would undoubtedly support their actions documented over the course of the film as the fulfilment of their mission. Jesus Camp is compelling viewing throughout and is everything that a good documentary should be. See more Read all reviews
