I didn't say "remove the religious content" only to release an edited lighter version that can hold the attention of those that are not as cerebral or religious (a great deal of the population). To be clear, a lighter version would contain much of the original message but in synopses.

elliote, there are plenty of secularized films about the environment (Al Gore got a Nobel Prize for his), and PETA has done some on animal abuses such a "Meet your Meat." What makes this film unique is precisely the religious POV and ESPECIALLY the Jewish focus because cit is RARE to see a Jewish POV on anything in the mainstream media. Remove that and you have just another secular documentary.

Al Gore was given the Noble Prize for his documentary film *An Inconvenient Truth**A Sacred Duty* is a much more important and urgently needed film and without question is a vastly superior, more powerful,informative, and meaningful presentation. *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.Real awareness can change the world.

It would be a shame if some didn't take this important and well produced film seriously because of it's religious content.May I suggest releasing a second "lighter" (and shorter) version for general consumption.

I agree.

nosferatruvampir, lose the attitude. This film was not produced "under the guise of concern" or to "promote religion." It was originally commissioned and produced by SINCERELY CONCERNED members of Jewish Vegetarians of North America to educate people within their own Jewish community. Jews do not have missionaries, we do not seek to convert people to Judaism. But, since the film is of interest to others besides Jews, the org made it available FOR FREE to everyone here.

Actually, chanteur73, there were at least 4 Orthodox speakers in the film: The Hasidic guy in the beginning, professor Richard Schwartz (author of Judaism and Vegetarianism), the former Chief Rabbi of Ireland (Rosen?) and the chief rabbi of Haifa. All of them are vegetarians. There are probably more orthodox vegetarians than we realize.

I guess you refer to the lack of more Orthodox in the video. How many Jews who follow a glatt kosher diet are sincerely interested in how their mazon is produced? Much of the Orthodoxy regards meat as an essential part of the diet which can't be historically and traditionally separated from its observance.
