Make films, not war!
Ever wondered what films can contribute to an era of global thinking and local action? Here comes an ambitious but well-structured initiative in this direction:
May 10, 2008 has been renamed into Pangea Day, as "sites in Cairo, Dharamsala, Kigali, London, New York City, Ramallah, Rio de Janeiro, and Tel Aviv will be videoconferenced live to produce a 4-hour program of powerful films, visionary speakers, and uplifting music."
In doing so, "Pangea Day taps the power of film to strengthen tolerance and compassion while uniting millions of people to build a better future."
