Join us! Tomorrow, Weds. @ Cinema 21 Message-ID: Dear Sweatfree Supporter, Come join us for a field trip to see the powerful and fun new film "What would Jesus Buy?" This holiday season the Rev Billy reminds us that a "Shopacalypse" is approaching and people must stop their mindless shopping! *What: Sweatfree Field Trip to see "WHAT WOULD JESUS BUY?"* * Where: Cinema 21, 616 NW 21st Ave* * When: Wed 28th of Nov.* * Time: meet outside at 6:45, film starts at 7pm* Directed by Rob VanAlkemade, Morgan Spurlock (producer) Bill Talen is a man with a mission. A former subway preacher who pontificated from a portable podium, he is now Reverend Billy, a man who, with his Stop Shopping Choir, criss-crosses America railing against our consumer culture in churches, schools, and malls. Like a sacred version of Michael Moore, he shows up unexpectedly in shopping centers at Christmas and, leading his choir, comes out against consumerism and addiction, clashing with store managers and security guards in the process. We hope to see you for this fun excursion.
