From director Rob VanAlkemade and producer Morgan Spurlock (SUPER SIZE ME) 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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 \u2014 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 \u2026 Disneyland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will we be led like Sheeple to the Christmas slaughter, or will we find a new way to give a gift this Christmas? WHAT WOULD JESUS BUY? may just be the divine intervention we\u2019ve all been searching for. The Shopocalypse is upon us \u2026 Who will be $aved?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8565,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_oasis_is_in_workflow":0,"_oasis_original":0,"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"footnotes":""},"languages":[],"countries":[1443],"film_categories":[1230,1201,1255],"master_copies":[],"pricing_grid":[],"press_types":[1191],"class_list":["post-8555","film","type-film","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","countries-united-states-fr","film_categories-economie-fr","film_categories-mondialisation-fr","film_categories-spiritualite-religion-fr","press_types-critique"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
