One of the creepiest documentaries I’ve ever seen. It follows the activities of a fundamentalist childrens’ camp that employs grotesque brainwashing techniques to indoctrinate children, largely for obvious political ends. The organizer, a monstrously evil woman, makes you sick with every word she spouts. Also included are a famous pastor, Ted Haggard, one of the most influential evangelicals in the country, preaching anti-gay hatred at the children. Haggard was later discovered having sex and doing hard drugs with gay hustlers, and resigned. Another disgusting scene involves children babbling “in tongues” while worshiping a card-board cutout of George Bush, Jr. It should be noted that the movement’s leaders considered the documentary to be a fair representation of their views.
