Synopsis:
In Chicago, which has a growing and diverse Muslim community, the interfaith organization Faith in Place has supported the development of Taqwa. Taqwa supplies organic meat to the Muslim community and everyone else who wants to support sustainable farming. This chicken, beef, and lamb is "Eco-Halal." The animals are humanely raised, fed an organic diet, and slaughtered in accordance with Islamic law. During the holy month of Ramadan, Taqwa members extend their tradition of charity to insure that poor communities can also eat this healthy and environmentally friendly meat. ("Renewal" is the first feature-length documentary series to capture the vitality of America's religious-environmental movement. Offering a profound message of hope, in eight stories, "Renewal" shows people inspired by their diverse spiritual and religious convictions, being called to re-examine what it means to be human and how we live on this planet. Stories include Evangelical, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist and several interfaith grassroots initiatives – portraits of people working to become better stewards of the environment. "Renewal" provides an inspiring account of how religions today can be a powerful force for good in the world by bringing people together through a common concern for the earth.)
