This brave, thoughtful documentary tells the disturbing story of Becky Fischer, a self-styled children’s pastor who organises an annual Bible retreat with the intention of edging young Christians closer to God.
Opening with scenes of children giddily proclaiming how much they love the Lord, it’s soon evident that Jesus Camp is only superficially interested in the methods of the American religious right. Its key concerns are with the susceptibility of young minds and the enthusiasm of some institutions to influence and exploit them to disseminate their own agendas.
By cleverly using the religious milieu as its thematic base, the film subtly deals with the ways that children process and accept information and the potentially dangerous influence of advertising and the media.
Please note: Contains emotionally intense scenes and discussion of abortion
