What Would Jesus Buy?
May 28, 2008Have you seen this movie? It’s a Documentary following Reverend Billy and the Stop Shopping Choir as they tour the nation looking to stop Christmas Consumerism amongst americans. It’s on the Netflix Instant Watch but you can also put it into your queue. I think I saw Jim Wallis is in this movie also. Definitely a Film for Thought movie at Roosevelt Community Church toward the end of the year! Check out the trailer below. If you saw it, what did you think?
Me: I loved it. It was a great and interesting look into american consumerism with a comedic twist. I never really figured out if the reverend or anybody was really “christian”. Somebody in the movie described it as being involved in activism in a fun and different way. Watch as the group takes their message across the country with a stop at Walmart Headquarters to excercise demons and also takes their message to the Mall of America and Disneyland. If you see this movie, check out Walmart: the High Price of Low Cost also.

I knew the trailer from Apple.com. Wow, it feels like consumerism mixed with excorsim. The film tells about how we waste our money to buy so much stuff . The stuff we actually don’t care about.
That’s the same guy that did this show that made me never want to eat at McDonald’s again!
