For those of you who have not yet heard of this documentary produced by A&E Indie films, it is high time you check it out. Now released to DVD the documentary is a shocking look at the inside of the Devils Lake Bible Camp run by Becky Fischer. This film includes the ironic footage of Ted Haggard saying “I know what you did last night, give me a thousand dollars and I won’t tell your wife.”
The film also raises such questions as those that Richard Dawkins has asked. Is religious indoctrination child abuse? I suggest you watch the film and ask yourself.

I just watched this documentary yesterday and I thought one of the interesting features was the almost total lack of narration. I went into the movie thinking that it would be full of anti-christian evangelical children rhetoric, but the images really spoke for themselves.
It really hurts to see these kids being homeschooled by their parents and not learning how to think or to listen to (let alone evaluate) opposing points of view. Overall, I was disturbed by the footage of this movement, and I expect that I won’t be the only one.
