Synopsis

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."

Reviews

"The fact that Pastor Fischer would probably consider the film an accurate portrayal of her mission may be the most terrifying thing of all."

   - Ken Fox, TV Guide

"As a documentary, JESUS CAMP could lose its haunted-house score and contrapuntal Air America refrains and still deliver its message: that, here and elsewhere, fundamentalism is no longer content with a separate peace. It wants the meat."

   - Scott Brown, Entertainment Weekly

"It makes an unsettling case that America is fast becoming the thing it professes to hate."

   - William Arnold, Seattle Post-Intelligencer

"This team has succeeded at making a film that opens a subculture without programming our responses to it."

   - Michael Sragow, Baltimore Sun

"It's a call to arms, a call to pick sides in the deepening cultural, political, and spiritual schism between the two Americas of the 21st century."

   - Marrit Ingman, Austin Chronicle
