Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Reverend Billy, a.k.a. Bill Talen, is an actor/performance artist and a leading figure in the anti-globalization movement. His disruptions or "shopping interventions" (as he calls them) in public spaces are in the tradition of the Living Theater, José Bové, Lenny Bruce, The Yippies. The police call it illegal trespassing. The film follows the Reverend's "shopping interventions/actions" into cultural dead zones within the island of Manhattan such as Starbucks, Disney and the New York University construction site at the Edgar Allan Poe House.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rev. Billy is entertainment with a purpose -- hallelujah!, April 2, 2007
By Karen Carnabucci (Racine, WI United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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 shows activist appearances at Starbucks and The Disney Store and details how he and his band of ravens created a political action to save the Edgar Allen Poe house in New York City. [...] Better than a day at the mall!

5.0 out of 5 stars Reverend Billy and The Church of Stop Shopping, August 14, 2008
A great look at the work of Bill Talen and the people who work with him. An inspirational look at his politics and how he carries out his message.
