I have a lot of respect for this film and for the "Stop Shopping" crew. This activist group has an incredible amount of heart and a good sense of humor even though their battle is a difficult one. Consumerism is as ingrained into our society as our gender roles or even our sense of right and wrong. And as Rev. Billy writes on his website, even our government representatives tell us to go out and shop. Prying the toys and useless junk out of peoples hands won't happen over night but the message is an important one; don't mindlessly consume.
If the issues discussed in this documentary concern you, make sure you pass the message (or the DVD) on to others. Word of mouth can be a very powerful thing.
