Product Description

Product Description

A powerful and absorbing documentary from film-makers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady (who made 2005's brilliant film about inner-city children's lives, The Boys of Baraka). Oscar-nominated Jesus Camp delves into the goings-on at the Kids on Fire evangelical camp in North Dakota, where children spend their summer playing Christian combat games, speaking in tongues and weeping with ecstasy as they confirm their love for Jesus. The camp's founder explains her mission to encourage the kids to 'take back America for Christ', and while there are opposing views on screen the film never takes sides, making the experience even more fascinating and disturbing.

Review

A documentary that's funny, sad and horrifying in about equal measure. **** --Empire

Brave, thoughtful documentary. **** --Time Out

Powerful, sad and very worrying. **** --The Independent

5.0 out of 5 starsCompelling documentary
By curiouscat on 24 Dec. 2009
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I actually thought this was a great documentary. The topic aside, I felt like the filmmakers, Ewing and Grady, had really done their research, and I was surprised by how extensive their interviews were. There were maybe three or four children that they focussed on and all of them were interviewed in their own environments, in a place where they obviously felt comfortable. They were all given a chance to say their piece, as was the preacher, Becky Fischner.

I have to admit, there were a few moments when I wondered if I was being manipulated into thinking and feeling a certain way. One scene springs to mind, when during a sermon, there was a wailing, somewhat melodramatic music/song happening. Just as I was thinking that it was a cheat-like of the filmmakers to add a dramatic score over a relatively dramatic shot, the camera panned left and there was a woman wailing into a microphone, which I presume is supposed to help bring the children to religious ecstacy. So that just sort of told me that it wasn't neccessarily the filmmakers doing the manipulating.

As another reviewer said, they seem to be just pointing the camera and shooting, with no obvious enhancements for dramatic effect. I can only appreciate that, as by the end I felt that I was mostly able to decide for myself. The film is in no way unbiased, but then the subjects within the film could hardly be considered unbiased.

In terms of the topic, I thought it was a good one to cover in a world where we mostly seem to focus on Islamic fundamentalism. We seem to forget that there are many other religions out there with their own special branches of people who are taking it too far.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsFrightening
By S. HULBERT on 7 May 2008
Format: DVD
There's been a certain amount of debate about whether the portrayal of evangelical Christianity in this film is fair or accurate. It's hard to see how much there is to complain about in this respect since most of the film simply consists of pointing a camera at what's happening. Obviously it's possible for film-makers to subtlely affect your perceptions of what's happening through their editing and the use of music and so on, so perhaps we should be aware of that. However, one thing is abundantly clear. What's happening here is utterly, utterly sick. If you can watch this film and not feel angry about what you see happening then something has happened to desensitise you to the bullying and manipulation of children, and you should be worried about yourself as well as them.

The film centres around Becky Fischer's "Kids on Fire" camp where children go to get "fired up" for Jesus, and they certainly do get fired up. They're given very little choice when Becky Fischer is screaming at them that they are essentially bad or weak people if they're not willing to get fired up for Jesus. She talks about how some children may have been living a double-life, believing one thing on a Sunday and living differently when they're at school. She says that to live this way makes them phonies and hypocrites and she works them up into an anguished state about their need to be forgiven for these "sins". These children seem genuinely distressed and many of them cry. There are a number of clips where the children explain "their" philosophies about things and it is perfectly clear that they could not have come to these kinds of conclusions independently.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsAbsolutely horrific!
By D. Payne on 7 May 2008
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
There isn't a single swear word and no nudity or violence in this film and yet this is possibly the most disturbing and horrific piece of cinema I've ever witnessed.

Encapsulates everything that is wrong with fundamentalist religion, in this case Christianity. You will never witness a more wrenching hypocrisy than the female 'teacher' of the camp telling the kids that the enemy knows that kids are vulnerable and impressionable and that's why they're teaching them these things now to 'protect' them. Or the image of the parent dragging a toddler's arm into the air in response to a question that presumably required an affirmative answer in the parent's warped mind.

This film is essential (if somewhat stomach-churning) viewing in order to understand a part of American society that is becoming increasingly influential in decisions regarding the US's (already overly enthuastic) warmongering making these people potentially far more of a threat to world peace than the likes of the Taliban or Al-Qaeda could ever hope to be.

4.0 out of 5 starsDisturbing but important viewing
By S. Marques on 8 Jan. 2012
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I saw this documentary some time ago in the cinema and at the time was surprised that so few people knew about it. I consider it a classic. I think it is hard to make such a documentary and stay objective and yet the director does a good job at it. One can see that the people involved really believe in what they are doing and are really quite good at organizing themselves etc. They are very motivated.
I suppose some people may find it all absolutely fine but some others will be really scared by it!
I offered it as a Christmas present to some movie buffs I know.
I hope they find it as interesting as I did, even if it does not make for easy watching ...
