Jesus Camp

Release date: 20 January 2007 (USA)

This documentary, directed by Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady, follows the lives of several children who have been indoctrinated by their Pentecostal parents into believing - on a level that is frankly terrifying - the Bible is the written, inviable word of God. Sadly, as such, these poor, sad children have no understanding of tolerance, moderation, diversity or the importance of inclusion. They have one poisoned view of the world and are just as fanatical as any al-Qa'eda terrorist. What's worse, they are the future of America. It is a sobering view of what I've long said is the greatest threat to our world: fundamentalist Christians. Lord help us!

My rating 7 out of 10.

just saw Jesus Camp myself, i appreciate the fact that the movie’s makers let the people interviewed do all the talking... over all, there is some truth in this flick as long as it's taken with a grain (or maybe a bucket) of salt
