THOUSAND OAKS, CA. - California Lutheran University will screen a documentary on religious-environmental activists at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 20, in Overton Hall.

“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. “Renewal” tells 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.

Emmy Award-winning filmmakers Marty Ostrow and Terry Kay Rockefeller produced the 2008 documentary.

CLU’s Center for Equality and Justice, Office of Campus Ministry, and Department of Religion are sponsoring the free event.

Overton Hall is located south of Memorial Parkway near Regent Avenue on the Thousand Oaks campus.
