Jesus liebt dich

About This Movie

So, 'Jesus liebt dich' is a fascinating deep dive into how evangelical Christians used the 2006 World Cup in Germany as a backdrop for their missionary work. It’s quite striking, really, to see how over 10,000 missionaries were sent out to share their message. The pacing feels pretty deliberate, allowing the viewer to absorb the often-heavy themes of faith and fanaticism. The atmosphere has this almost unsettling intensity, especially as it juxtaposes the celebratory nature of the World Cup with the serious undertones of the missionaries' mission. There's a raw honesty in the interviews, and I’d say it really shines a light on the consequences of such fervor. Not often do you see a documentary tackle such a complex topic with this level of nuance.

Strong themes of religious fanaticism. · Unique historical context during a global event. · Interesting perspectives from both missionaries and locals.
