Saw JESUS CAMP at the new Lincoln Center Atrium the other day, presented by director duo Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady (who also directed DETROPIA). The film follows a number of young children to Kids on Fire summer camp in Devil’s Lake, North Dakota, where kids as young as 6 years-old are taught to become dedicated Christian soldiers in God’s army.
The film is an excellent verite documentary and yet another insight into the total insanity of the church institution. Watching it reminded me of HELL HOUSE – a must-see documentary featuring the Trinity Church and their annual performance and Alex Gibney’s MEA MAXIMA CULPA. Recently, the more I watch on religion, the more it gives me the creeps!
