Rev. Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping

Bill Talen is a performance artist and activist who created the character of street preacher Rev. Billy and the faux Church of Stop Shopping. He has found an original way to speak out against the globalizing of our consumer culture while also speaking up for neighborhoods in a funny and yet curiously heartfelt way. The DVD documentary shows his activist appearances at Starbucks and The Disney Store and follows the Rev. and his band of ravens who created a political action event to save the Edgar Allen Poe house in New York City.
