A growing number of evangelical Christians believe there is a revival underway in America that requires Christian youths to assume leadership roles in advocating the causes of their religious movement. The directors of the critically acclaimed The Boys of Baraka take a close-up look at Pastor Becky Fischer’s “Kids on Fire” summer camp in Devil’s Lake, North Dakota, where children as young as six years old are taught to become dedicated Christian soldiers in “God’s army.” Jesus Camp 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.

Jesus Camp also screens Saturday, January 20th, at 5 p.m. and Sunday, January 21st at 5 p.m.
