Do you long for a simpler, more relaxing holiday season?

Some Americans believe that Christmas has gotten out of control. From the mob-like behavior of Black Friday shoppers to the massive amounts of consumer debt and waste that remain in its wake, there seems to be very little joy left in the holiday season.

This documentary follows performance artist-activist, Bill Talen in his Reverend Billy persona as he and his Stop Shopping Gospel Choir take their anti-consumerist revival across America. The group’s cross country journey begins in New York City’s Times Square one month before Christmas and makes stops in several of America’s iconic centers of commerce including Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, the Mall of America and Disneyland. Their message is simple. You don’t have to overspend to have a happy holiday season.
