I watched "Gates to Paradise". It is a Polish movie from 1968 about tragic and infamous child crusade. I was disappointed. The movie is pretty bad. You could say it's Christian apologetics or even "washing of hands" from the whole event.
They pretty much concentrate on the leader of children crusade, certain Jacob the beautiful, who had vision of Jesus who told him to gather kids from all around Europe and lead them to war in Jerusalem. And as dishonest as Christians are, they feature a priest who is going with them and examining the whole thing, only to conclude that the whole thing was not a vision by Jesus but by the devil, and therefore he can't give his blessings.
So yeah, the whole thing doesn't have to do anything with Christianity because it was devil's deed - as opposed to, I guess, other crusades which were by Jesus.
And again, problem with Christians that the can't never be wrong and won't admit that these children were brainwashed by Christian parents: by their religion and seeing them go to holy wars.
