Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady once again cast their collective eye on the unusual world that is the backwaters of the USA. Jesus Camp delves into the mechanisms that make the next generations of Christian soldiers, fighting to "take back America for Christ". Unnerving and unusual, Ewing and Grady's Oscar-nominated piece targets a group of children attending Kids on Fire, an evangelical Christian Camp, and explores the American religious machine as it moulds the impressionable into the Church's future political missionaries. A profound eye-opener about the radical religiosity in America's population, Jesus Camp explores the line where teaching becomes indoctrination and belief prevails over reason, along with the fates of people innocently caught in the middle.
