Golgotha is the place where Jesus was crucified. The project tries to understand the different faces of evangelization in the country. Two members from the Comando Golgota pray after returning from the 13km walk. In the second day of the camp, the students go inside the forest for a 13km walk. There, they pray, ask for forgiveness and reflect upon their religion. When they return, a collective catharsis happens and everyone starts screaming and crying. The students from Comando Golgota learn the rules of the military hierarchy, such as the continence and how to call their superiors. The camp takes place in a small communities and is militarized. There are hierarchies among the members, organized by time and presence during the Comando’s history. During some part of the camp, the members pretend that they are the police from an anti christian country that does not accept evangelicals. The participants of the camp are the missionaries who have to survive and keep their church alive.
