Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow’s film from the 1st Tuesday Social Action Film Festival is RENEWAL, and it’s all about faith communities acting as stewards of the earth.

From the official description

Across the nation, people of faith are standing up for the environment. Evangelical Christians are fighting mountaintop removal, a coal mining process that is decimating Appalachia. Muslims are supporting sustainable farming. Jews are helping children experience the bond between nature and spirituality. Interfaith Power and Light is mobilizing people of all faiths in a religious response to global warming.

For the first time, the combined energy of these diverse activists is the driving force behind a feature-length documentary, entitled RENEWAL. Veteran film producers Marty Ostrow and Terry Kay Rockefeller have crisscrossed the country to capture these exciting stories of people whose passion and deep moral commitment are making a difference in a time of grave ecological threats.

Bring a friend, and come see this film – and remember to wear RED in honor of World AIDS Day.
