Jesus Camp directed by Heidi Ewing & Rachel Grady
Overview
Jesus Camp
The Good
- It was a good film on a pertinent topic given Evangelicalism's growth in the United States
- Very little opinion is inserted into the film by the directors--they let the content speak for itself
- There isn't much to speak of. I know some Evangelicals weren't fans of it, but in reality, this was all documented--it is what it is.
I recommend watching Jesus Camp
