"Pangea Day taps the power of film to strengthen tolerance and compassion while uniting millions of people to build a better future."I love the fact that recently, more than ever, there have been efforts to make the world come together a little bit more, such as the Davos Question I talked about a few days ago. In "Pangea Day," which is held around the world live on March 10th (see their website for more details), videos from around the world will be displayed. Their idea around this is simply "if you could share one video with everyone in the world, what would it be?"
There are high hopes that this video will ease racial tension around the world as well as help to draw people farther away closer together. The videos will be shown around the world, either at special "Pangea Day" screenings, at public theaters and parks, or at private, invitation-only screenings.
Videos can still be submitted. As they put it:
"We're looking for films that will make us laugh, cry, and gasp. They can be fiction, non-fiction, real-life, animation, or your own unique mixture. But they should hold our attention for every second. And above all, they should tell a story that someone else on the other side of the world will be able to relate to."I personally can't wait to see all the amazing videos that will stream in and be shown on the 10th. If you read this and post a video, leave a comment and let me know. They also have a trailer which I think is pretty amazing. Check it out on youtube.
Happy pangea day.
