Dear friends,
I have received the following message from TED's Chris Anderson and I am sharing it with you. This Saturday will be an exciting global day of peace through human creativity in inspiring films from around the globe. Enjoy Pangae Day and be part of it.
Fahri Karakas.
Now the message follows:
Dear Friends of TED,
Now this is exciting. A powerful, 2-minute TED video has been given star billing at YouTube and I need your help to get it to spread further…The video heralds the launch of Pangea Day, called for by 2006 TED prize winner, Jehane Noujaim.
I hope you’ll take a minute to view it, rate it, write a quick comment about it and then blog it, or pass the link along to friends. Each of these actions will have a multiplying effect and will help us reach out to thousands of film-makers around the world who we need to submit content for possible inclusion in Pangea Day.
The project has taken off, and its ambition level is spectacular. On May 10, 2008 - Pangea Day - Jehane’s wish will come to fruition as sites in New York City, Rio, London, Dharamsala, Cairo, Jerusalem, and Kigali will be video-conferenced live to produce a 4-hour program of powerful films - supplemented by visionary speakers, and global musicians.
The purpose: to use the power of film to promote better understanding of our common humanity. A global audience will watch through the Internet, television, digital cinemas, and mobile phones.
A powerful advisory board has come together to support the project. It includes: JJ Abrams Lawrence Bender Nancy Buirski lan Cumming Ami Dar Cameron Diaz Goldie Hawn Vik Muniz Clare Munn Eboo Patel Alexander Payne Meg Ryan Deborah Scranton Jeff Skoll Philippe Starck Yossi Vardi Kevin Wall Will.i.am
If you’re interested learning more and/or helping out, please send an email to Pangea Day executive director Delia Cohen (delia@ted.com). More details are available at the project's beautiful website created for us by Avenue A/Razorfish: pangeaday.org.
Very best,
Chris Anderson
TED Curator
