Eco-Justice: Renewal Project : Director: Marty Ostrow and Terry Kay Rockefeller | Genre: Documentary | Produced In: 2008

Synopsis: In coastal Mississippi, pollution from the chemical and petroleum industries has for decades caused elevated levels of disease - nervous disorders, asthma and cancer - in African American and other poor communities. Then, the flooding caused by Hurricane Katrina made these medical problems even worse. Now, through their churches, citizens are finding inspiration to conduct their own health surveys, to demand accountability from industry and to insist on action by government officials. ("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.)
