People's Grocery
In West Oakland, California there is a magical oasis called the People's Grocery that firmly practices what it believes - that all people, regardless of background, should have access to the best food possible. In a community that has 53 liquor stores and no other grocery stores, People's Grocery is growing their own organic food, teaching the community about healthy eating and selling subsidized food through their "Grub Box" distribution program. It's a living local economy regenerating from the dust of a neglected neighborhood.

Renewal
Renewal profiles eight faith-based groups on their journey to transform their congregations into responsible environmental stewards. Follow Evangelical Christians as they bear witness to mountain top removal; Muslims in Chicago actively supporting sustainable farming; Jewish youth learning to minimize their footprint; Buddhists engaged in persuading major magazines to publish on recycled paper and four other groups fully engaged in the greening of their congregations. This film offers hope and shows people of all faiths working to re-define what it means to live on the planet today.
90 minutes, directed by Martin Ostrow and Terry Kay Rockefeller
