Jesus Camp
Embracing a charismatic brand of evangelical faith during a North Dakota Bible camp called Kids on Fire, Kansas youngsters receive intense religious instruction, dire warnings about straying into sin, and fevered inspiration from speaking in tongues. Framed by the continuing societal collision of religious and secular values, this bracing documentary is an eye-opening look at one dimension of religious education in the Bible Belt.
