Morgan (Super Size Me) Spurlock joins forces with Shopocalyptic holy man Rev. Billy for a new documentary on the commercialization of Christmas. What Would Jesus Buy? follows prankster-preacher Rev. Billy in his cross-country crusade (including his stop at the Mall of America for a "shopping intervention") as it explores consumption, sweatshops, and debt -- all in Jesus' name. It opens at theaters in New York ad LA on Nov. 16, and hits the midwest (including Minneapolis' Lagoon, on Dec. 7) in early December. Watch the trailer.More: Rev. Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping and Buy Nothing Christmas.
I had the opportunity to see Rev. Billy two years ago when he was here in Minneapolis. Pretty amazing. And funny. Can't wait for this movie.
