11. Jesus Camp
Site rank: 11, IMDb rank: 10
Directors: Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady
This award-winning 2006 documentary follows a handful of the attendees of a fringe Christian camp in North Dakota. The children pray a lot, prepare for the more physical side of the culture wars, and are taught about the dangers of homosexuality, progressive politics, and mainstream science. In the wake of the film, one featured pastor was disgraced by an imbroglio of drugs and gay sex, and another elected to shut the camp down rather than field the negative press brought on by the film’s release.
