And Where Would Jesus Shop?
Film showing will benefit Responsible Growth for Northcross
By Lee Nichols, 4:56PM, Wed. Dec. 5, 2007
The film What Would Jesus Buy is opening this weekend at the Regal Arbor (9828 Great Hills Trail). The film is described as "An examination of the commercialization of Christmas in America while following Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping Gospel Choir on a cross-country mission to save Christmas from the Shopocalypse (the end of humankind from consumerism, over-consumption and the fires of eternal debt.)"
At this Friday evening's show (Dec. 7) at 7:30pm, theatre-goers can give Responsible Growth for Northcross, which is fighting to stop the Wal-Mart proposed for the former Northcross Mall property, a $5 donation in the lobby to see the film instead of paying the normal price for a ticket.
Plus, during the opening weekend, the theatre will admit a guest +1 for the 'Senior-Child' price if you print out and bring in a coupon that will be available on the RG4N website.
