The DVD hits the street on May 20, but you can place your order now and take $5.00 off the price! We're happy to announce our DVD packaging contains NO PLASTIC and most of the container is made of post-consumer recycled paper. This film has played throughout the US, bringing Fair Trade activists and Evangelical Christians together in darkened movie theaters, emerging with new tools to BUY LESS and GIVE MORE!

The most coveted review comes from Kurt Vonnegut, a Saint in our church: "Rev and his choir now enrapture large audiences...with sermons such as those in this collection...to which ... Jesus Himself would have said, 'Amen.'" Click here to order from Powell's, a union bookstore.
