Fire, brimstone around "Jesus" film
"Jesus Camp" Documentaries" 1 2 3 4 YOUDECIDE.
I SAY LOCK UP YOUR KIDS.
The directors of "Jesus Camp," a buzz-generating documentary about evangelical Christian children training to be soldiers for God, proclaim no agenda other than to start a conversation about belief, politics and the culture wars.
But the most prominent evangelical to appear in the film, the Rev. Ted Haggard of Colorado Springs, has disowned it on the eve of its limited release, saying the filmmakers cast their subjects in a sinister light and misrepresented evangelicalism.
