Some lively material - but nothing new. Full Review |

4/5 |
Flawed editing and intrusive and irritating commentary hardly detract from the shock value of this disturbing documentary. Compulsory viewing for anyone in the least bit concerned about religious extremism. Full Review |

This gripping shock-doc looks inside the Kids on Fire evangelical summer camp in North Dakota, where training starts young for a “new army of God” to “take back America for Christ”. Full Review |

This unabashedly liberal documentary tries to redress the balance by giving the rest of America a wake up call: not all scary fundamentalists come strapped with explosives. Full Review |

With an admirable impartiality, filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady allow the camera to make these kids look like Bible-thumping kooks as they quote scriptures and try to convert strangers they meet on the street. Full Review |
