Jesus Camp / USA / 2006
A terrifying, if not entirely surprising documentary that, like it or not, sets out to unmask the cruel, fanatical face of the Christian conservative movement. But where Evangelical youth pastor Becky Fischer has received the most criticism, that condemnation seems a bit misdirected. Yes, she oversees a program that fosters intolerance, blind faith, and egotism; in a radio interview that closes the film, she even professes support for “indoctrination.” But the program wouldn’t exist were it not for the parents, one of whom is featured early in the film schooling her son in the overblown nature of global warming and extolling the absoluteness of the Bible; science, in her mind, is inconclusive. These men and women have abandoned their responsibilities as parents, instead using their children as pawns in a growing sociopolitical game of chess. A young girl tries to stand outside and simply enjoy the rain, only to be scolded by her mother; a young boy tells ghost stories with others at night, only to be reminded by a counselor that those stories are blasphemous; another boy confesses with a wide smile over lunch to seeing the Harry Potter films, eliciting a stunned silence from the table. They are kids trying to be kids, attempting to genuinely enjoy themselves. Instead we’re left with haunting images of kids with red pro-life tape over their mouths, of kids meeting the ominous Ted Haggard, and of a young mop-haired boy crying because he’s questioned his faith. Terrifying.
