This is an exceptional new educational documentary that delivers an urgent message to all of us. Not only does it discuss the devastation of our environment through pollution and global warming, but it boldly goes one step further than Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth.

Although this documentary has its roots in the Jewish religion, its message is relevant to all people and all cultures. The essence of the DVD is about how human beings were originally bestowed with the sacred task of being ‘responsible custodians of the world in which we live’, and of course this appropriately incorporates compassion for animals. Respected Rabbis from around the world have contributed to this presentation, in which they consider the most practical pathways for ‘the healing and repair of the world’.

A Sacred Duty is very accessible to mainstream society and, despite the discomfort that some of the scenes will evoke, there is a tangible beauty in the way the teachings of the Torah are shared with non-Jewish people. It is an excellent production which is certain to make a lasting impact on the majority of viewers.
