Contents Summary
Somewhere in the middle of Mentukwa’s forest, surrounded by lush green forested hills is the Adventist Pilgrim Prayer Camp run by self-proclaimed prophet Ellen Jesus Christ. She convinced her followers to travel miles away from their friends, families and possessions to a place where they will live a holy life in preparation for the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Children in the camp are flogged for the least offence, most of them are denied any form of education and training, and the young girls are forced into marrying the men of the camp. Their failure to adhere to these demands ''prophesized' by Ellen could result in demonic accusations or verbal and physical, often violent abuse. The filmmaker investigates the camp while undercover as a follower.
