Amazon.com:
The feverish spectacle of a summer camp for evangelical Christian kids is the focus of Jesus Camp, a fascinating if sometimes alarming documentary. (Shortly after its release, the movie gained a new notoriety when Ted Haggard, president of the National Association of Evangelicals, who appears near the end of the film, resigned his post amid a male prostitute's allegations of drug use and sexual misconduct.) For most of the film, we follow a charismatic teacher, Becky Fischer, as she trains young soldiers in "God's Army" at a camp in North Dakota. Some of the kids emerge as likable and bright, and eager to continue their work as pint-sized preachers; elsewhere, the visions of children speaking in tongues and falling to the floor in ecstasy are more troubling. Even more arresting is the vision of a generation of children home-schooled to believe that the Bible is science, or Fischer's certainty that America's flawed system of democracy will someday be replaced by a theocracy. (In one scene, a cardboard cut-out of George W. Bush is presented to the children, who react by laying their hands on the figure as though in a religious procession.) Filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady maintain neutrality about all this, maybe too much so (they throw in some interviews with radio host Mike Papantonio to provide a liberal-Christian viewpoint) and one would like to know more about the grown-ups presented here. Power broker Haggard is the creepiest person in the film, an insincere smooth talker whose advice to one of the young would-be campgoers comes across as entirely cynical. Time will tell whether the film's Christian soldiers will be marching onward. --Robert Horton

I felt this film portrayed a slightly biased view of the Jesus Camp. Surely there's more to the camp than fear mongering? I would hope so.
It's hard to imagine children at summer camp missing out on traditional fun such as team building, hiking, sports, playing games, "fun" worship such as singing, and outdoor activities (I don't count handing out religious brochures in the park as an outdoor activity).
This camp was portrayed, and perhaps accurately, as instilling fear ... Read More

The beginning of the film shows camouflaged children performing some sort of dance- possibly a mix of exorcism and praise. It's creepy, the way the kids are dressed. They are dressed for war. But, they're kids.
"But, they're kids!!!" was all I kept saying throughout this movie. Will they ever know any other type of Christianity??? (Rachael talks about "dead churches". The kind where people sing a few hymns, listen to a sermon, etc. "God doesn't like to visit those churches", claims the ... Read More

What's so scary about this film is that I grew up like that. I went to these children's revivals and camps and grew up believing that anyone who doesn't believe in my God was going to hell and that I should be ready to die for the cause of Jesus. I am a fim believer that this type of indoctrination is the wrong answer. As someone who grew up that way, I found it devastating once I got into the real world and became aware of what other religions were really about, and that there was no way that all those ...

This is a documentary is a candid glimpse of the fevered minds of--not of the evangelical right, but the secular left. This documentary is essentially a scaremongering warning of a future Christian theocracy that those crazy Christian yokels are cooking up in their creepy bible camps: all by indoctrinating poor impressionable kids.
The film makers do their best to portray these Christians as alien, scary, and backwards. They pick a kid with a mullet to be the star and spend sufficient time ... Read More

I passed over this at the video store before finally renting it. I hesitated because I knew, just from the cover, that it would be a disturbing, one-sided look at a small group of Christians who indoctrinate their children. It was indeed excruciating to look at the confused, innocent faces of children listening to sermons that would be perfectly fine for adults, but really will mess these kids up for life. I wanted to take the kids and run like H. as soon as Ms. Fischer said that in Jesus' time, Harry ... Read More
