Beware The Shopocalypse! This brilliant documentary is perfect for the holiday season. Not only does it have a crucial and timely message, but its full of joy, irreverent humor, music and fun. Performance activist Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping take the spotlight here, preaching across the States, hoping to save America from its destructive shopaholic obsession, especially the spending orgy around Christmastime. Watch out compulsive consumers! We are proceeding into the shopping season under an enormous misunderstanding. We think that we are consumers at Christmastime. No! We are BEING CONSUMED! the charismatic Reverend exclaims. Interspersing fun with insightful commentary, we also hear from people like Judith Levine, author of Not Buying It: There are many places in America where there are no sidewalks. What does that say about us? It says we have to be in our car or in our house or in the mall. There are only commercial spaces in almost all of America, or private spaces. You are either trespassing - or you are buying. A most worthwhile and enjoyable documentary about malignant consumerism in America. --Bibi Farber Full length movir 1hour 31minutes For more info, see revbilly - See more at: nextworldtv/videos/inspiration-1/what-would-jesus-buy-full-film.html#sthash.Kkb9ymII.dpuf
