Spiritual resource to share: watching through another's eyes
I just finished installing the movies feature in my new facebook account. I had to admit. I love movies. So when TED.com ( an incredible organization celebrating all of what is innovative and progressive) announced PANGEA Day on May 10th, I was totally on board. Nothing like totally creative, idealistic, hopeful and pragmatic artists to get me going. Check it out.
The Pangea Day Mission & Purpose (from their website)
Pangea Day is a global event bringing the world together through film.
Why? In a world where people are often divided by borders, difference, and conflict, it's easy to lose sight of what we all have in common. Pangea Day seeks to overcome that – to help people see themselves in others – through the power of film.
The Pangea Day Event
Starting at 18:00 GMT on May 10, 2008, locations in Cairo, Kigali, London, Los Angeles, Mumbai, and Rio de Janeiro will be linked for a live program of powerful films, live music, and visionary speakers. The entire program will be broadcast – in seven languages – to millions of people worldwide through the internet, television, and mobile phones.
Here is one of those programs from a series. They are each just one minute long. They feature a choir in one country singing another country's national anthem: a simple idea that packs surprising emotional power. This one is of France singing for the USA.
