Pangea Day - May 10th 2008.

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.  Jehane Noujaim, a documentary filmmaker and winner of the 'Technology, Entertainment and Design' prize, wanted to create a one-day, global, cross-cultural film festival — a marathon of movies, amateur and professional, whose common thread was fostering understanding of "the others." 

Pangea Day endeavors to bring the world together and promote understanding and tolerance, to help people see themselves in others.  All through the power of film.

The entire program will be broadcast – in seven languages – to millions of people worldwide through the internet, television, and mobile phones starting at 18:00 GMT on May 10, 2008.  Locations in Cairo, Kigali, London, Los Angeles, Mumbai, and Rio de Janeiro will also be linked for a live program of powerful films, live music, and visionary speakers.
