Featured review
I watch a lot of scary movies, but Jesus Camp is REALLY frightening stuff.
This enlightening documentary reveals the extreme techniques employed by the religious right in America to radicalise their children. Packed off to Evangelist summer camp by their overbearing parents, these poor impressionable kids are repeatedly subjected to the raving of fervent bible-bashers until they are successfully indoctrinated—all ready for a future career in the US political arena.
Home-schooling lessons that ridicule scientific learning; the threat of hell and damnation for all unrepentant sinners no matter what their age; Christian Rock music: some of the techniques used by the manipulative adults are tantamount to child abuse!
