Gates to Paradise - by Andrzej Wajda - 1968



Wajda made some amazing films.  This one is about the Children's Crusade of 1212.

Basically, this film explores individual motivation for participation in widespread social or religious movements.  You always have a few true believers but then you get folks with ulterior motives or the wrong motives entirely.  Some folks might even be participating in movements of liberation against their will.
