Jesus Camp did what great documentaries do--it gave you access to a fascinating (and in this case, horrifying) part of the world! I grew up Southern Baptist in Liberty, Missouri, really close to Lee's Summit, the city featured in the film. Having experienced a lot of the evangelical children's boot-camps portrayed in the movie, even I learned something about a culture very similar to my own. What the religious right is doing to our children is horrifying! This movie gives you a microscopic glance into the fanaticism of mainstream American Christian culture.
