Solidarity Film Series Fall 2008 Screening of WhatWouldJesus Buy? December 20 On Saturday, December 20, at 7:30 PM, the Solidarity Committee of the Capital District continues its 2008-2009 film series with a screening of "What Would Jesus Buy?" (2007, 91 minutes). This comic documentary follows the 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 destruction of the world through consumerism and the fires of eternal debt! Engaging in retail interventions, corporate exorcisms, and good old-fashioned preaching, the Reverend Billy takes us into the heart of America—exorcising the demons at the Wal-Mart headquarters, seizing the center stage at the Mall of America, and heading to the Promised Land (Disneyland). Don't miss this hilarious critique of corporate culture and globalization . The film-showing—cosponsored by
Bethlehem Neighbors for Peace and Upper Hudson Peace Action—will take
place at a new location:
the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Albany, located at 405
Washington Avenue (across the street from the downtown SUNY campus).
Admission is free. Refreshments will be served. Everyone is welcome to attend.
