Jesus Camp (2006)
The Good:
First I thought that the filmmaker was very fair to the subjects in this documentary.
It was a revealing look into the indoctrination of children into a fundamentalist faith, you could have easily replaced Jesus with Allah or Pentecostal with Shia.
It seemed to flow very smoothly, I could have watched another hour of it.
A great example of how a documentary should be done, especially in the fact that the filmmaker allowed his subjects to tell their own story.
Bad:
I really have little negative to say about this one, but I tend to be overly kind with documentaries :-)
Overall: Simply put, I recommend this film.

finally got so see Jesus Camp; i appreciate the fact that the movie’s makers let the people interviewed do all the talking; then again i couldn’t help wondering, "wait, what’s the problem here? these kids seem to have a pretty high quality of life..."
