Renewal

Across the U.S., there is a growing interfaith call for environmental activism. Veteran filmmakers Marty Ostrow and Terry Kay Rockefeller, in their recently released documentary Renewal, have captured the efforts of numerous religious communities to "preserve what they see as God's creation."

The producers film Muslims, Christians, Buddhists and Jews, among others, actively tackling a range of environmental issues from sustainable farming to mountaintop removal.

Ostrow and Rockefeller create eight vignettes, or short documentaries that can be viewed separately in this 90-minute film, that focus on groups ranging from Going Green, a movement that teaches congregations how to become more environmentally aware, to Food for Faith, which connects city dwellers in different religious communities with sustainable farming efforts.
