Jesus Camp
August 23, 2007
I'm not sure quite what happened with the cinema release of this documentary. Perhaps I just missed it.
Anyway, after following the trailers on YouTube, I ordered the DVD.
The film follows the children and staff at a summer camp in Missouri USA, documenting the unusual methods in which the children are urged to become soldiers in the Evangelical 'Christian Army'. I think most people will be surprised at the level and extremes the staff and guests go to in order to make sure the children follow this path.
The camp would make a fairly easy target for liberal film-makers, but the end result is handled quite fairly.
