Summary: A growing number of Evangelical Christians believe there is a revival underway in America that requires Christian youth to assume leadership roles in advocating the causes of their religious movement. This documentary, directed by Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady, directors of the critically acclaimed "The Boys of Baraka," follows Levi, Rachael, and Tory to Pastor Becky Fischer's "Kids on Fire" summer camp in Devil's Lake, North Dakota, where kids as young as 6 years-old are taught to become dedicated Christian soldiers in "God's army." (Magnolia Pictures)

The frightening thing is that this is reality and a viewpoint that a significant number of people in the U.S. share. This is one of those documentaries that had to be made at some point and the only question is why it took so long. Of particular note are the humorous and terrifying scenes of children praying to a George W. Bush cutout and the scenes with creepy meth addicted televangelist Ted Haggard.

Unbiased, which is amazing considering the craziness of the topic. I suppose this angle is the only way they would have allowed this to be made anyways.

"Harry Potter is the enemy of god", how do they come up with this? I hope somebody does a follow up on the long-haired boy and the girl in the final scene. I wonder how they turn out.

Look, the fact that it's so even-handed is remarkable, but I wanted nothing more than CRUCIFIYING PREJUDICE. I wanted flaming pitchforks in hands. It makes me so angry that kids are subjected to all this vile, discriminatory brainwashing. Religious right-wingers shit me to tears.

Deeply unnerving. Quote: "Your question to me is, do I feel it's right for fundamentalists to indoctrinate their children with their own beliefs, and fundamentally yes I do." ~ Becky Fischer|| As someone who was raised a non-conservative christian, and later made his own decision to give up the belief, I can only hope that some day these children have the opportunity to think for themselves. Regardless of religion, I'm of the opinion that you can't believe unless you doubt first.

This is, without a doubt, the absolute most frightening film I have ever seen. It made me want to instantly go out and thank every parent who has ever raised their child to have an open mind. The parents in this film should be put in prison.

Some of these kids are very interesting, in that sad brainwashed sort of way. Indeed, Becky Fischer and co. are quite despicable. The final product is a bit more cut up than I generally like, but it's still a well-done documentary.

This movie portrays exactly how it is in these evangelical camps. Trust me my parents forced me to go to these things my whole childhood. It was scary then and its scary now. They really should have put this under horror and not documentary I'm gona have nightmares for a while.

A frightening and saddening document of what happens when Christians stop worshiping Christ and start worshiping Christianity. Literally every scene left me wanting to reach through the screen, grab these people, and shake them violently. They are monsters who use their brainwashed children as weapons and God as ammunition. The kids even repeatedly state that they look forward to being soldiers and martyrs.

I've seen most of this movie through youtube and nothing can represent my shame for this country more than the subjects of this doc. This is one of the scariest and unbelievable things ever recorded. I felt like I went to a zoo and watched the animals in their estranged habitat.

Eye-opening. The scene with the main pastor about 10 minutes in is one of the most unsettling interviews I have ever seen on film, where she laments about followers of Islam's adherence to their religion and how she wishes Christians would be raised to "radically lay down their lives" in the same manner. Nice director's commentary on the DVD.
