Jehane Noujaim: TED Prize wish: Unite world on Pangea Day ...

"In this hopeful talk, 2006 TED Prize winner Jehane Noujaim unveils her wish: a global
acceptance of diversity, mediated through the power of film. The first step? Getting
people to understand each other. In 2003, Noujaim gained access to both sides of the
story of the Iraq war for her film Control Room, a dichotomy she illustrates with provoca-
tive clips of Al Jazeera journalist Sameer Khader and U.S. press officer Josh Rushing.
Noujaim ends by outlining her plans for Pangea Day, an event in which people all over
the world can watch the same films at the same time. (Contains strong language.)"

Hmm. I'm on a group for this on LinkedIn, but I don't know that much happened here where I live, for this day.

Anyone else get involved? Let us know about it if you participated.

Nice idea.
