I came across an interesting global event called Pangea Day that seeks bring people together through films! And you can participate in this from wherever you are in the world. Even back home in Bangalore at the Thoughtworks office at Airport road.
Pangea Day - as the organizers put it - is a global event bringing the world together through film. It seeks to help people see themselves in others – through the power of film.
Starting at 18:00 GMT or 11:30 PM India on May 10, 2008 (tonight), 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 program (24 films selected globally) being broadcast – in seven languages – to millions of people worldwide through the internet, television, and mobile phones. The films were chosen based on their ability to inspire, transform, and allow us see the world through another person’s eyes.
Post event, it is expected that those inspired by the event and its messages would participate in community building activities around the world. A very noble and creative idea to galvanize people to do things together to make a difference.
I cant wait to meet people at the event and check out these movies that are meant to inspire. Its 20 mins to the event and I got to get to Thoughtworks.
If cant make it to the event at your city, or online, follow it on twitter!
