Jesus Camp

The basic premise of this film is to give insight into the pentacostal fraction of the Evenglical movement sweeping the Midwest, by following the lives of three children who go to a camp to hone their "prophetic gifts". The directors Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing said that they want to do "an honest and impartial depiction of one faction of the evangelical Christian community”. It really "doesn't come with any prepackaged point of view", showing beautifully transitioned slides of the dreary enviorment this place has taken root. There is no narration, although there is clearly a story line as the journey continues. There is a voice to this film though, a radio personality that talks about how "these people aren't the Christians in the way I was thought. They are indoctrinating their children". The radio personality then talks to Becky Fischer, the leader of "Kids On Fire School of Ministry," who ran the Camp the story is based on.

Thats the main premise that frighten me, that there is an entire generation of Christian Extremist who are being taught by their parents that they need to "take back America for Christ". Becky Fisher her self says that we need to fight Muslim Extremes with Christan Extremes.

The true beauty of this film is whats captured, like in all documentry, that the directors have to capture the beauty already existing and show it, rather then create it like most directors.
