Jesus Camp is a Christian summer camp where children hone their "prophetic gifts" and are schooled in how to "take back America for Christ". The film is a first-ever look into an intense training ground that recruits born-again Christian children to become an active part of America's political future.

My kids go to a church school, we often attend church. This involves making tea for old ladies, eating cake and the kids doing some colouring.
What it doesn't do is involve screaming, speaking in tongues and wanting to kill Harry Potter for being a Warlock.
Holy fucking shit.
There is nothing scarier than the human race.
Oh boy where do I even start...
- tell me who is in the house? JC
- "I pray on this power point presentation"
- I'm at least 90% sure that this Becky lady has killed people in the past in the name of Jesus....
- The kid who was "saved" at age 5???????
- The girl who makes sure she's dancing for jesus and not the flesh?????
- WARLOCKS ARE ENEMIES OF GOD AND I DON'T CARE WHAT KIND OF HERO THEY ARE AND HAD IT BEEN IN THE OLD TESTAMENT HARRY POTTER WOULD HAVE BEEN PUT TO DEATH
- That shot of her computer showing a power point presentation saying "THE PUNISHMENT FOR SIN IS DEATH" with this…
George W. Bush... he has really brought some real credibility... um... to the Christian faith.

One of the scariest films I've ever seen.
During this documentary we see a kid praying to her bowling ball, people praying to powerpoint presentations, a pastor using store bought bottled water as holy water, and hundreds of kids speaking tongues in front of a life-size cut-out of George W.Bush. And these are probably the lightest parts of the film.
Utterly horrifying.
There’s something surreal about seeing yourself on screen. I’m not talking about seeing yourself represented in the abstract like fictionalized stories present, where you see bits of yourself through the characters on screen.
I’m talking about seeing streets you’ve walked down and buildings you’ve been in featured in a high profile film.
I’m talking about a film directly lifting from your childhood and throwing it right back at you in full HD.
I was raised outside of Kansas City (I go into Lees Summit quite often actually). If we’re talking about movies that hit close to home I can’t think of a better example.
And there’s nothing like a good documentary for some good self-reflection.
Maybe good is too generous…
Hey America, dunno why you keep trying to seek out terrorists and religious fundamentalists in the Middle East when there's millions of them already living on your doorstep.
*laughing nervously* what the fuck...
