In 2006, filmmaker Jehane Noujaim won the TED prize, an annual award that includes the granting of “One Wish to Change the World.”
Her wish? To hold an international film competition and subsequent global screening to help bring the world together.
Over 2,500 submissions from 100 countries later, Pangea Day was born. On May 10, a four-hour program will be broadcast to the world through the Internet, digital cinemas, television and mobile phones with live, linked screenings in Cairo, Kigali, London, Los Angeles, Mumbai, and Rio de Janeiro.
The films being screened were chosen for their ability to inspire, and show the global community what life and the world looks like from the particular filmmakers perspective.
