Reviews for Jesus Camp
You don't have to be extreme or liberal to be shaken by Jesus Camp.

Top CriticAs a documentary, Jesus Camp could lose its haunted-house score and contrapuntal Air America refrains and still deliver its message...
10/04/06
The film's strengths emerge in its willingness to listen (if not agree), and to give Pastor Fisher and her flock plenty of rope to hang themselves with.

It stares into the face of faith run amok, and for those willing to follow its gaze, it provides sad revelations.
09/29/06
The filmmakers are out to demonize, not humanize, which means their movie ends up preaching to the liberal choir instead of shedding any real light into the evangelical Christian movement.
09/29/06
Filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady lump all evangelicals together, failing to distinguish the more fundamentalist Pentecostals, and they've clumsily inserted some unnecessary editorializing from talk-radio host Mike Papantonio.

...can be draining for those, like myself, who get enough of these people already in our daily lives
09/29/06
Jesus Camp doesn't just preach to the converted, it bores and frightens them
09/29/06
This startling documentary -- a voyage deep into the culture of American evangelical Christianity -- is a superior species of agitprop.
09/29/06
You know what they say, folks: it's a free country. If Jesus Camp scares you, better start brainwashing some little heathens of your own.
09/28/06
Every scene is loaded enough to infuriate some and to rouse others.
09/28/06
Ewing and Grady have created a terrific catalyst for religious and political discourse.
09/28/06
Whether you are a religious, churchgoing person or not, if you are the least bit liberal or tolerant in your world view, this has got to be one of the most unnerving films of the year.
09/28/06
Top CriticOften funny (just listen to Becky fulminate against Harry Potter), but it's also a scary, sobering inside look at the attempts of an increasingly powerful group to erode the separation of church and state.
09/28/06
What Ewing and Grady have accomplished here is remarkable -- capturing the visceral humanity, desire and unflagging political will of a religious movement.
09/28/06
The ominous tolling bell of documentaries.
09/27/06
The compassionate god of love so evident in the Sermon on the Mount is nowhere to be found in the documentary JESUS CAMP
09/27/06
Definitely eye opening, despite lacking a larger scope.
