Jesus Camp (2006)
The Gist:
Jesus Camp could pass for one of the most unsettling horror films I've ever seen. As it stands, it's merely a documentary about the extremism of evangelical Christianity in our country and the indoctrination of the youth into that staid and potentially dangerous set of beliefs. Here we a Christian summer camp take the shape of a cult, spouting nonsense in the same vein as Muslim extremists waging their holy jihad. It's all stupidity, and it would be ridiculous and something to laugh off if it wasn't so god damn (heh) terrifying in its practical implications on our society and our future as a nation and as a human race. Anyway, my opinions about the Christian Right and subsequently this specific film are pretty clear at this point, ne?
