In a scene from the second episode of "50 Documentaries to See Before You Die," Morgan Spurlock and guest commentators discuss "Jesus Camp" (2006), the doc that made No. 31 on our list. Directed by Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady, the Oscar-nominated documentary delves into the unusual goings on at a Pentecostal children's summer camp in North Dakota. Their "trippy" journey include uncompromising pastor Becky Fisher, who claims that according to the Bible, Harry Potter should be put to death.

Renowned documentarian Morgan Spurlock hosts "50 Documentaries To See Before You Die," a celebration of the most remarkable and moving documentaries released in the past 25 years. It examines how the documentary feature has evolved into an increasingly popular genre, becoming a major box office draw and impacting contemporary American culture in ways never seen before.
