Pangea Day
Pangea Day, 10 May 2008
Since June 2007, Pangea Day has been asking people around the world to create short, powerful films that deal with universal themes, such as food, home, water, laughter, sorrow, hope, landscape, despair and joy. (Deadline for submission was February 15, 2008, now passed)
I wish to bring the world together for one day a year through the power of film. - Jehane Noujaim
"On Pangea Day, live sites in Brazil, Egypt, India, Israel, Rwanda and the United States will be videoconferenced to produce a four-hour program of powerful films, visionary speakers and great music. The program will be broadcast live through the Internet, television, digital cinemas and mobile phones. Organized in a Meetup-style model, millions of people from different countries will meet in cinemas, at outdoor screenings and in private homes to watch the Pangea Day program and connect with each other.
Of course, movies alone can't change the world. But the people who watch them can. So at these screenings, we'll give people immediate, practical opportunities to put their inspiration to work through diverse organizations working to solve the challenges that -- sooner or later -- touch everyone on the planet."
Inside every tank there is a human being.
See the world through someone else's eyes. Pangea Day - May 10, 2008.
