2006
Documentary
1h 27m
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)

Probably the most disturbing documentary I have ever seen, America and the world are in trouble when there are people like this in such high numbers practising this insanity. These people make Charles Manson look sensible. Edit: Recent events in the world have made this documentary look sensible.

Better than the average horror flick. The ideology and especially the engagement that comes with it is terrifying. But it's still hard to point out which emotion comes with this film. In my opinion it was a mixture of humor, frustration, pity and fear. ........... This puts a little extra in the quote: "We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another"

Jesus Camp is a disturbing look at the children of our generation. It is hard to watch, and sometimes absolutely unbelieveable, and yet it is worth every second to see the indoctrination of our youth, and how it plays out in todays society. Very good yet very simplistic. Worth a look.

It is absolutely infuriating to see these people using bright, young kids for their own political purposes. Seeing them use fear, shame and pseudo religious experiences to turn these kids into preachers is just horrible. The way they try to mold young, adorable kids into right wing christian minions is absolutely heartbreaking. +1 for getting Jesus Camp closed.

Eye opening doc on how some use children to help carry their religious messages. Sad, but it does a good job depicting this topic. They didn't need to add their own extra music in the background at points. The words spoken and the actions taking place should be enough. It is good that religion can give these kids a positive outlet in their life to stay out of trouble, but I just wish it didn't have to be taken to the next extreme. Good film that got it's message across.

As unsettling of a documentary as you will see. You are essentially watching brainwashing of children within all the legalities of society. To see the adults tell the children complete lies just so they will think a certain way and then hear the kids repeat what they've been told is pretty damn scary. This is how unstable adults are formed.

Disappointing. I don't doubt its portrayal of this (narrow) segment of Christianity. But one might think all Evangelicals are like this, which obscures the reality that the particular political and religious issues emphasized at Fischer's camp come primarily from a pentecostal tradition, which is hardly representative of Evangelicals as a whole. Of course, the camp is disturbing in its emotional manipulation of children, but I don't fault people for passing on their beliefs. Everyone does that.

You'll probably find a DVD of 'Jesus Camp' under the Documentary section of your video shop (or website), but really it belongs under Horror. Enlisting the impressionable youth for political causes and convincing them that anything contradicting their beliefs should be disregarded outright is more frightening than any machete-wielding psychopath. The hypocrisy is almost unbearable. Early on, the children are told that "evil preys on the youth" with no sense of irony or self-awareness. Scary.

Scary ass shit d00d. "If Harry Potter lived in biblical times, he would be dead." Umm...not true, Harry has magical powers, and he could easily defeat any ancient civilization's army with a simple patronus. Plus he's a god person, so Jesus certainly wouldn't harm him. If only Jesus had had Harry's power...

So incredibly frustrating to watch. You just want to reach through the tv and punch all the adults in the face until the world is right again. It's heartbreaking to see how these kids are being stripped of everything that would have made their formative years memorable, happy and stimulating, and being indoctrinated with guilt and fear instead. A follow-up would be fascinating (and probably depressing as hell).

A great movie detailing the power of Christianity in some people. Though I personally find their methods of religious practice ridiculous it's impressive to see people with such dedication to what they believe in. The movie is very even-handed and shows the creepiness as well as the importance of this extreme religion.

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.

Christians rile me up enough, but Evangelicals totally make my blood boil, and fear for our future. This doc doesn't take a stand either way, and while the even-handedness is admirable, I would have appreciated more voices on my side. Even the commentary track was rather annoyingly unbiased. At some point you have to be willing to take a stand and step on some toes. But I suppose it wouldn't sway anyone's opinion either way. I only hope some of these kids come to their senses when they grow up.

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.

Disturbing, I've witnessed this behavior before and this film accurately portrays radical youth Christianity. I've always had a problem with the 'brain-washing' of children who don't know any better, and I'm glad this film revealed this aspect of this religion in America. Though I do find it funny that the name of the camp is called 'Kids on Fire'... let's think for one minute people... actually that may be too much to ask.

How the hell do I rate a film like this? It's excellently made and presented, as there's no making light of the situation (Moore) or trying to make it more interesting with silly props (Spurlock), so right off the bat I respect it. It's also nearly devoid of bias, and yet has still managed to scare people. I would call it essential viewing for anyone who isn't aware this is happening to this extent. I really just want to shake my head and say I can't believe it.

A scary look in how some children in America are being indoctrinated. At times, you begin to wonder if what you are seeing is just a fucked up drama, but then you realize that this is in fact a documentary. The radio talkshow host does his best to get the other side of the argument out there, but the funny thing is his view on things is not necessary for this film, these Evangelicals are doing his job for him.
I really hope these kids eventually 'get it', though I doubt it..

Interesting observational movie, though some of the blatantly manipulative editing is annoying, mostly because it seems unnecessary, and the parts with the talk-radio host are tedious and fear-mongering. I think religious indoctrination of children is a big problem, but the apocalyptic notion of the religious far-right taking over America (a notion that was, to be fair, a popular and dispiriting one in Bush's term) is unhelpful, and of course proving itself more and more wrong as the years go by

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.

This movie is anti christian propaganda. After watching it I wondered why the people in it would allow themselves to be portrayed in this light, turns out they weren't. There people were taken out of context, and the movie edited together to convey what the directors want you to see. There is nothing wrong with "training a child in the way it should go." Woe to those who don't. Our country is going down the toilet because God is vanishing from our culture, and our homes. Shame on the directors.

it's clearly done some good, b/c it made this centre for child abuse shut down. however it's also sensationalist and uninteresting. scenes seemed staged, questions were boring, editing and music were crassly commercial and the filmmakers explained their pov using an onboxious talkshow host. basically made by and for the sort of people who spend their day talking shit about republicans on dailykos, and it's exploitation. tho that was probably necessary to close the place down. oh well.

Actually kind of scary. There are a lot of nice touches in the movie, such as showing people drinking Pepsi.

These guys don't know how to make a good documentary. It's pretty obvious that they're portraing all those people with the same social-political radicalism approach that religious people are using to brainwash kids. But the rough work is, still, haunting and unpleasant to see.

Heidi/Rachel's documentary was not particularly gripping for me -- I'm familiar with these extremist Evangelicals here in Brazil, and they are closely attached to american churches and ministers. I think the filmmakers could have used more political footage and maybe shown also bored or stubborn kids, not just these die hard believers. But, in general, it's a powerful, unnerving register of this unbearable reality of kids indoctrination and Christian fundamentalism in America.

"Almost studiously avoids a point of view" I thought the opposite. it's evident through the film a distinction between love of God within a Godfearing community & love of God against other communities/society at large. the 1st can cause assimilation & weird expectations within. the 2nd feeds on the idea "well look at the muslims/atheists/democrats, we must be more militant". I feel like that is the exact crusade of the anti-evangelical documentarian. not that I don't share the feeling personally

Further proof that extremism is dangerous and harmful. Frightning.

Like Hell House before it, this religious doc feels limp because of its straightforward, no-frills presentation.
