September 11th is no doubt a date that will be seared into the national consciousness forever. As individuals and communities across the country commemorate the day, each in their own personal way, so too will two groups from Community Church of NYC , RESISTANCE CINEMA and GREEN SANCTUARY commemorate in a very special way. We are proud to present an exceptional film that offers a vision of hope and unity, of peace and strength and above all a path to “renewal”.
RENEWAL is the first feature-length documentary film to capture the vitality and diversity of today's religious-environmental activists. From within their Christian, Jewish, Buddhist and Muslim traditions, Americans are becoming caretakers of the Earth. With great courage, these women, men and children are re-examining what it means to be human and how we live on this planet. Their stories of combating global warming and the devastation of mountaintop removal, of promoting food security, environmental justice, recycling, land preservation, and of teaching love and respect for life on Earth are the heart of RENEWAL.
I watched this film with admiration and hope millions of others will have the chance to see it. You will be stirred to
discover people of different faiths who are engaged in an exhilarating stewardship of the earth that offers our best chance to yet save creation.
—Bill Moyers
RENEWAL is a path breaking film that gives us for the first time stories of the emerging movement of religious environmentalism across the United States. 
Here we witness the inspiration of religious ideas in practice for the healing of the Earth. Such a film is invaluable for religious leaders and laity alike. Moreover, it will renew those working on behalf of future generation.
