While at times this documentary seemed rather flat, the absence of a narrator to position the audience was a semi-interesting technique. Having to interpret the events for myself was rather confronting. The most disturbing part of this film for me, however, was not the blatant mental and emotional programming of the children, nor was it the obvious misinterpretation of the Bible by a group of fundamentals. For me, it was the sickening feeling that I’ve seen it all before. I fear that I too have been to “Jesus Camp”.
