Evangelical horror

Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady's film is not intended as a hatchet job. But their examination of an evangelical Kids On Fire summer camp, where small children, filled with the Holy Spirit, pray for President Bush, may be considered one by those of even vaguely liberal leanings.

Pastor Becky Fischer, however, thinks the whole thing "very fair" as she and others attempt to "break the power of the Devil in this nation".

Apparently 25 per cent of the American people describe themselves as evangelicals and 10 per cent agree with the Rev Ted Haggard, who addresses the kids before telling the film-makers that there is no doubt in his mind that his lot can deliver any election in America.

Why bother with horror films when you can see this?

Jesus Camp
