Jesus Camp

When a documentary crew infiltrates a fervent evangelical summer camp that trains children as prophetic warriors, they must expose the clash between zealous faith and manipulation before the line between devotion and exploitation is crossed.

America is being born again.

Synopsis

The group featured in *Jesus Camp* does not represent mainstream evangelical Christianity, despite what the documentary suggests. Becky Fischer and her "Kids on Fire" camp originate from a narrow Charismatic stream that emphasizes extreme emotional experiences, places heavy focus on speaking in tongues, demons, and political "dominion," and imposes a significant spiritual burden on children to "take back America for God." This approach is not representative of healthy, biblical Christianity, but rather a troubling distortion. Bible-believing Christians should not view this film as defining their faith or as representative of Christian camps in general. Most evangelical churches and camps emphasize clear teaching of Scripture, the gospel of grace in Christ, age-appropriate discipleship, and normal spiritual growth—unlike the excesses and manipulation depicted in the documentary.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 11

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
