| Can Your Film Change the World? |
 |
Here's a big idea: Pangea Day plans to use
the power of film to bring the world a little
closer together. We're divided by borders,
race, religion, conflict... but most of all
by misunderstanding and mistrust. Pangea Day
seeks to overcome that -- to help people see
themselves in others -- through the power of
film.
On May 10, 2008 -- Pangea Day -- sites in
Cairo, Kigali, London, Los Angeles, Mumbai,
and Rio de Janeiro will be linked to produce
a 4-hour program of powerful films, visionary
speakers, and uplifting music. The program
will be broadcast live to the world through
the Internet, television, digital cinemas,
and mobile phones.
Your film could be part of it. The online
video revolution has helped spawn a new
generation of grass-roots film-makers
worldwide. Much of the output, of course, is
mediocre. But hidden in there are amazing
talents capable of using film to astonishing
effect... and capable of telling stories
that can create powerful bonds between us.
So ask yourself this. If you had the entire
world's attention for just a few minutes,
what story would you tell? Perhaps you think
the world looks at you, your country and your
culture... and just doesn't understand. Then
do something about it. Make a film and upload
it here

never know. It could end up bringing millions
of people that bit closer together.
Pangea is the name of the original
super-continent which contained all the
world's land mass before the continents
started splitting apart 250 million years
ago. We're launching Pangea Day with the
vision that the people of the world can begin
to overcome their divisions, and that the
power of film can help make it possible.
Movies can't change the world. But the people
who watch them can.

Get Involved. Watch on May 10th.
http://www.pangeaday.org
Pangea Day taps the power of film to
strengthen tolerance and compassion while
uniting millions of people to build a better
future.
In a world where people are often divided by
borders, difference, and conflict, it's easy
to lose sight of what we all have in common.
Pangea Day seeks to overcome that - to help
people see themselves in others - through the
power of film.
On May 10, 2008 - Pangea Day - sites in
Cairo, Kigali, London, Los Angeles, Mumbai
and Rio de Janeiro will be linked live to
produce a program of powerful films,
visionary speakers, and uplifting music.
The program will be broadcast live to the
world through the Internet, television,
digital cinemas, and mobile phones.
Of course, movies alone can't change the
world. But the people who watch them can. So
following May 10, 2008, Pangea Day organizers
will facilitate community-building activities
around the world by connecting inspired
viewers with numerous organizations which are
already doing groundbreaking work.
