Pangea Day around the corner

Published by Amit Pande at 1:38 am under Movies, Communication, Creativity

I’m looking forward to Pangea Day - a striking and timely concept in a fragmented and scattered world.
Starting at 18:00 GMT on May 10, 2008, locations in Cairo, Kigali, London, Los Angeles, Mumbai, and Rio de Janeiro will be linked for a live program of powerful films, live music, and visionary speakers. The entire Pangea Day program will be broadcast in 7 languages  to millions of people worldwide through the internet, television, and mobile phones.

The 24 short films to be featured have been selected from an international competition that generated more than 2,500 submissions from over one hundred countries. The films were chosen based on their ability to inspire, transform, and allow one see the world through another person’s eyes.

Pangea Day was conceptualized by Jehane Noujaim after she won the annual TED prize.
