(en) Aotearoa, Otautahi/Christchurch, Beyond Resistance, What would jesus buy? december film night!

Beyond Resistance presents (in true Christmas spirit): What Would Jesus Buy? ---- What
Would Jesus Buy? follows Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping Gospel Choir as
they go on a cross-country mission to save Christmas from the Shopocalypse: the end of
mankind from consumerism, over-consumption and the fires of eternal debt! ---- From
producer Morgan Spurlock (SUPER SIZE ME) and director Rob VanAlkemade comes a serious
docu-comedy about the commercialization of Christmas. Bill Talen (aka Reverend Billy) was
a lost idealist who hitchhiked to New York City only to find that Times Square was
becoming a mall. Spurred on by the loss of his neighborhood and inspired by the sidewalk
preachers around him, Bill bought a collar to match his white caterer’s jacket, bleached
his hair and became the Reverend Billy of the Church of Stop Shopping.
Since 1999, Reverend Billy has gone from being a lone preacher with a portable pulpit
preaching on subways, to the leader of a congregation and a movement whose numbers are
well into the thousands.
Through retail interventions, corporate exorcisms, and some good old-fashioned preaching,
Reverend Billy reminds us that we have lost the true meaning of Christmas. What Would
Jesus Buy? is a journey into the heart of America – from exorcising the demons at the
Wal-Mart headquarters to taking over the center stage at the Mall of America and then
ultimately heading to the Promised Land … Disneyland.
