Jesus Camp 6/10
Fairly well-made documentary, but, even as an agnostic liberal, I think the links drawn between these lunatics and the Bush administration were pretty weak.
Like watching 90 minutes of psychological child abuse at the hands of other, larger (sometimes much larger) and sadly misguided children. It just left me feeling sad, not angry.
Of course, I predict that by the age of 15 most of these kids will either be totally disenchanted with this crap (at best) or drug addicts who fuck everything that moves (at worst).
Started watching Fur last night and I think I'm really, really going to like this one...review forthcoming.
