Jesus Camp (2006, directed by Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady)

"Imagine a place where focused, precocious kids pledge allegiance to a holy text and train as ideological warriors — even, yes, martyrs. You're imagining America — specifically, Kids on Fire, an evangelical madrassa devoted to fomenting a religiopolitical Children's Crusade. 'This world, all it feeds you is trash,' says 12-year-old Levi. 'I want the meat.'

As a documentary, Jesus Camp could lose its haunted-house score and contrapuntal Air America refrains and still deliver its message: that, here and elsewhere, fundamentalism is no longer content with a separate peace. It wants the meat." (http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,1542503,00.html)
