Jesus Camp (2006) is a schlockumentary about a Pentecostal summer camp and the children that attend.
The documentary contains little to no narration, serving only to reveal the treatment of children in Evangelical Bible camps. It is a look inside the Conservative Christian view of the world, which contains an "Army of God" to "take back America for Christ."[1]
Directed and produced by Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady, it was nominated for a 2007 Oscar for Best Documentary Feature, only to lose to An Inconvenient Truth.[2]
After the release of the documentary, liberals vandalized the camp ground. As a result, the owner of the camp ground required that the camp be shut down. The camp director Becky Fisher has announced that she still plans to host the camp upon finding a new location.[3]
A few years after the release of the film, Levi O'Brien, one of the children profiled, stated that deliberate editing was done to make supporters of the camp look bad. In the scene, O'Brien's mother states that there are two types of people: those who love Jesus, and those who don't.
