Jesus Camp is directed by award winning filmmaker team Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady (The Boys of Baraka) and took home the Grand Jury Award at this year’s AFI Silverdocs Festival. This controversial and emotional film follows Levi, Rachael and Tory to the Kids on Fire summer camp in Devils Lake, North Dakota, where kids as young as 6 years-old are drilled in the importance of political activism and radical views. The film is a first-ever look into an intense training ground that recruits born-again Christian children to become an active part of America’s political future via the Evangelical movement.
