Jehane Noujaim: TEDPrize wish: Unite the world on Pangea Day

http://www.ted.com 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 provocative 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.)

Peace be with you all.

Its a shame more people don't subscribe to this channel. We're this some teen girls blog, comments were be in the thousands by now. We need this sort of involvement when it comes to the sharing of thought. Alas. ::shruggs::

Mmm...don't try to figure out why other people hate you Americans. Obviously it's gone over your heads. Just stay on your shores and STOP KILLING PEOPLE and DESTROYING NATIONS!! I can't believe the west screwed over Libya after all that's gone on in Afghanistan and Iraq. I can't wait for more civilized nations (China/India) to come to power in the world. Stupid, short-sighted, conscienceless bastards

We can have peace if we want it but we have to want it more than anything else. Let the whole world desperately want peace and strive for it! :D

imagine if we could communicate through global telepathy....like a massive town meeting..eh?..eh??????

[lyricessence]

what you are seeing is not nervousness. it's urgency and importance about something very important in a very, very intense place: the meeting of minds who would fund her vision. could you do such a thing without intensity?

Wow she is sooooooo nervous!

[gusphraba]

The fact that she sounds almost crying is really making it difficult to listen, at least for me. Sorry.
