May 10th Pangea Day: Can Your Film for Social Change

[Yatin Sethi]

Pangea Day is a global event bringing the world together through film.

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.

Check this introductory video about Pangea day here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pl3xHIsvF9o 

and as part of the promotions some filmmakers around the world have filmed people from different countries to sing national anthem of another nation.
