Jesus liebt dich (2008)
Overall average
5.0/10
Plot
Evangelical fundamental Christians used the 2006 World Cup in Germany for their missionary purposes: over 10,000 missionaries were deployed to spread the "Word of God", convert people and collect donations. The documentary aims to inspire reflection on the consequences of religious fanaticism, which, despite the missionaries' friendly demeanor, goes hand in hand with intolerance towards those who think differently. Free of verbiage, it hints at parallels between faith and fanaticism using purely visual means and cleverly intersperses basic information as animated infographics that shed light on the ideology of the evangelicals and how it is spread.
