Renewal – Interfaith Power And Light | Doc 90 Minutes from George Spyros on Vimeo.

Film producers Marty Ostrow and Terry Kay Rockefeller crisscrossed the country to capture exciting stories of people whose passion and deep moral commitment are making a difference in a time of grave ecological threats. The 90-minute documentary Renewal is the first feature-length documentary to attempt to capture the breadth and vitality of America’s religious-environmental movement and consists of eight sections:

A Crime Against Creation
Evangelicals bear witness to mountaintop removal and the destruction of Appalachia.

Going Green
GreenFaith helps congregations take the first steps to environmental action.

Food for Faith
Muslim tradition and charity forge bonds between urban communities and sustainable farms.

Ancient Roots
The Teva Learning Center and Adamah bring environmental education together with Jewish tradition.

Compassion in Action
Green Sangha, a Buddhist community, leads a campaign to save trees.

Eco-Justice
The Holy Spirit inspires a battle against industrial contamination in small town Mississippi.

Sacred Celebration
Catholics and Native Americans embrace religious ritual in their struggle to protect land and water

Interfaith Power and Light
Across America people of all faiths mount a religious response to global warming

The film follows people of faith in rural communities, suburbs and cities, who are rolling up their sleeves in practical and far-reaching ways. Offering a profound message of hope, Renewal shows individuals and communities driven by the deepest source of inspiration – their spiritual and religious convictions – being called to re-examine what it means to be human and how we live on this planet. Renewal attempts to paint an honest picture of how much work will be needed to stem the tide of environmental devastation. Its compelling characters and stories inspire the vision and commitment that addressing the challenge will require.
