hello everyone. it's been a long time since i last updated. been really busy with the doc. got back from Georgia a couple of weeks ago, but will be heading back there in a week. thank you everyone for stopping by and checking in on me. there is so much love in this community, i love it!!!
since Christmas is coming i want to let you know about this documentary i watched today called What Would Jesus Buy?
synopsis: What Would Jesus Buy? is the title of an upcoming documentary film produced by Morgan Spurlock and directed by Rob Van Alkemade. The film focuses on the issues of the commercialization of Christmas, materialism, the alleged over-consumption in American culture, globalization, and the business practices of large corporations, as well as their economic and cultural effects on American society, as seen through the prism of activist/performance artist Bill Talen, who goes by the alias of "Reverend Billy", and his troupe of activists, whose street theater performances take the form of a church choir called "The Church of Stop Shopping", that sings anti-shopping and anti-corporate songs. The film follows Billy and his choir as they take a cross-country trip in the month prior to Christmas 2005, and spread their message against what they perceive as the evils of patronizing the retail outlets of several different large corporate chains.

it's an ingenious idea. i don't think the film has a wide release, so you need to do some digging to see if it's playing in your city.
also here is a really important PSA about the consumption and waste American goes through and how that effects the environment. even if you don't live in the U.S.A it's something you should still watch. it will make you think twice before you buy something. so please, please, please watch the clip. it's about 25 minutes long, but very well worth your time.
