Thanks to my friend Lisa, I just found out about this very cool film project that I think you should know about too. You can learn all about it at www.onedayonearth.org.

One Day on Earth is a collaborative film project started a couple years ago as a way to document what's happening around the world on one particular day as filmed by thousands of videographers around the world. The day of filming, 10-10-10, is fast approaching but you still have to time to sign up to contribute your video.

The website says it best, so here goes...

Across the planet, documentary filmmakers, students, and inspired citizens will record the human experience over a 24-hour period. By participating in this historic event, you will help capture the diversity of life and culture on this planet. Together we will create a document that is a gift to the world.

One Day on Earth is a documentary and new media project about the amazing diversity, conflict, tragedy, and triumph that occurs in one 24-hour period on Earth. More than a film, One Day on Earth is a multi-platform participatory media project. The flagship of this project is a 120-minute documentary to be released theatrically. Through the One Day on Earth platform we will establish a community that not only watches, but participates.


Even if you don't contribute with a video, make sure you see the film when it's released. As the website promises, I'm sure the film will change the way you see the world.
