I watched the entire thing but I didn't get anything from it but a feeling of disgust.

Absolutely terrifying to see these brainwashed children speaking in tongues and sobbing in "faith". Kristi & Abby Tabby

I totally agree with Derringer. I do have one thing to add. Derringer said that he wasn't religious. I am a Catholic. The people on this video are fundamentalists. They are the extreme radicals of Christianity. You might liken them…

Not being religious-minded, myself, I purposely watched Jesus Camp in order to see what these Christians had to say for themselves and whether it was at all worthwhile for me to pay attention and listen. Unfortunately, this was a very…

All I can say is, who is indoctrinated? There is no firm evidence for either evolution or man-made climate change....on evolution, there are countless unanswered questions given the theory's uncertainty and reliance on chance (random…

Jesus Camp is a haunting exposé that sheds light on a very grim reality that is brewing within the United States. The film follows a group of students from across the Midwest as they congregate at an evangelical Christian camp in North…

(*Familiar Christian quote*) - "In Jesus' name. Amen." IMO - "Jesus Camp" was pure Christian propaganda that presented (to the general public) carefully staged situations as a means of reinforcing their unshakable religious…

If the directors (Ewing & Grady) had decided to stand off and let the evangelicals do their thing without piping up with their tut-tuts about how awful it is to brainwash children, this one would have been a lot better. If you want much…

Whatever you think about fundamentalist Christianity, you have to hand it to this group, who gave permission for film makers to come into their world. They are honest, and they are unashamed, although in retrospect, the Ted Haggard and the…

Whatever the metaphor - tip of the iceberg, thin edge of the wedge, slippery slope - that you may choose to characterize the Fundamental Christian movement, this film is a relatively soft look at a hard subject. Showing value systems to…

It's a well done, and actually fair and balanced look at the work of Becky Fischer and her associates at the now-defunct "Kid's on Fire" summer camp. The Evangelical's are not presented as monsters, although they're passionate about…

I guess I expected something scholarly or an intelligent debate/discussion but this is neither.

An in-depth look at a bible camp used to indoctrinate children and 'lock them in' to certain religious commitments, which even featured then president George W. Bush. The camp leader even was yelling about how this is war, and how the…

I just finished watching this documentary, and I am kind of freaked out about it. Brain washing little kids is messed up. Scary is the word that is most often mentioned in the comments here because it is the word that comes to mind…

This movie made me sick. I had no clue what the Evangelist church was all about either. I feel bad for those absolutely brainwashed kids.

Let me get my bias out of the way - I'm not a christian. So if you want to dismiss this on that basis, fine. If you are offended, sorry. But I found this to be sad and scary. Words like cult and brainwashing come to mind. I don't…

This is an eye opening documentary of the Evangelist church. I watched this movie with no expectations as I did not know anything about this church. Informative about how members of this church act today and their role in keeping the…

This is one of the scariest films I have ever seen. I still have a hard time beleiving that this was real and that people do this to their children.

Good - Decent documentary; maybe too one-sided showing the negative aspects of the Pentecostal Christian religion. You'll find yourself admitting that what is being taught to the children is not wrong to say the least but the trouble…
