I haven't seen the movie itself yet, so I don't want to make too much judgement. However, the most ironic thing about this movie is that it didn't seen trying paint Christian black. The movie just document a radical summer camp with preachers preaching emotional message about taking a firm stand in today's society, and along the way cross over some Replication political agenda with religious faith. That, of course, was enough to start up fire in the liberal media.
This independent documentary probably won't stirr up as much controversy in Hong Kong than in US. Most teenagers in HK don't care much about HK politics at all, let alone understanding the difference between Democrat and Republican in United State. However, be prepared if someone ask you whether it is "too radical" and "brainwashing" to ask children to join the army of Christ, or take a clean cut distinction between their Christian and non-Christian friends. And most importantly: do you have a stand on issue like this? And where's the foundation of that stand point came from?
Looking forward to see the movie. It's just like you have to at least hear one teenage pop singer's song before comment on teenage pop singer.
