This Saturday, May 10, 2008, the world will come together through film.
You and your friends are invited to a free public screening we've organized on the Plaza in Kansas City. Stop by for a few minutes or take in more of the show at Unity Temple, 707 West 4th Street between 1:00 and 4:00 p.m.
In a world where people are often divided by borders, differences and conflict, it's easy to lose sight of what we have in common. Pangea Day seeks to overcome that -- to help people see the world through someone else's eyes -- through the power of film.

technoratiPangea Day: Can Film Change the World?
Submitted by willow on Tue, 2007-09-18 23:00.
That's the idea behind Pangea Day which will bring together millions of people from all over the world through the power of film to create a better understanding of one another. Pangea Day is the "wish" of documentary filmmaker and 2006 TED Prize winner Jehane Noujaim (Control Room (2004), Startup.com (2001)) who we had the good fortune of seeing speak at the Sundance Film Festival.
Listen to Jehane at TED unveil her wish: global acceptance of diversity, mediated through the power of film. The first step? Getting people to understand each other.
