A Major Documentary on Current Environmental Threats and How Jewish Teachings Can Be Applied in Responding to These Threats.Produced by Emmy-Award-winning producer, director, writer, and cinematographer Lionel Friedberg, A SACRED DUTY will take its place alongside Al Gore's AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH and Leonardo di Caprio's THE ELEVENTH HOUR as another powerful expose of the dangers of global warming. However, it goes beyond the latter two films, by showing how religious responses can make a major difference and why a shift toward plant-based diets is an essential part of efforts to reduce global climate change and other environmental threats.
What makes this film unique is the religious POV and ESPECIALLY the Jewish focus because cit is RARE to see a Jewish POV on anything in the mainstream media.
*A Sacred Duty* proves that a *different kind* of monumental and urgently needed change needs to take place throughout the world if there will be any chance of stopping global warming.
It was originally commissioned and produced by members of Jewish Vegetarians of North America to educate people within their own Jewish community. For them, Al Gore forgot to include *cattle* as one big cause of global warming, and *vegetarianism* the number one solution.
Responsebility for the Animal Kingdom, through the religous concept of compassion, can indeed increase harmony between humankind and nature, which is manifested in the clearest way by the map of the Human Shape of Israel.
The film combines long scenes concerning the complicated ecological situation of the Land of Israel.
