NOT WORTH CONSUMING

Having attended a few years of Christian school in the past, what was most disturbing about this is how familiar it seemed. People really do act like this, from the bullying group leaders to the terrified, self-righteous kids.

As a documentary, I wanted more substance from it. Creepy, yes, but there isn’t much information being presented here that couldn’t be acquired from one decent conversation with a Christian immersed in the culture. The personal angles run flat, as no one experiences much of anything. They show the kids, they show the camp, everyone goes home. There is no time lapse to show how anyone may have changed, for better or worse.

It feels as though the filmmakers saw something and were compelled to point at it, but ultimately had nothing to say.
