Spanish - Can Your Film Change the World?

Here's a big idea: Pangea Day plans to use the power of film to bring the world a little closer together. We're divided by borders, race, religion, conflict... but most of all by misunderstanding and mistrust. Pangea Day seeks to overcome that -- to help people see themselves in others -- through the power of film.

On May 10, 2008 -- Pangea Day -- sites in Cairo, Kigali, London, Los Angeles, Mumbai, and Rio de Janeiro will be linked to produce a 4-hour program of powerful films, visionary speakers, and uplifting music. The program will be broadcast live to the world through the Internet, television, digital cinemas, and mobile phones.

Your film could be part of it. The online video revolution has helped spawn a new generation of grass-roots film-makers worldwide. Much of the output, of course, is mediocre. But hidden in there are amazing talents capable of using film to astonishing effect... and capable of telling stories that can create powerful bonds between us.

So ask yourself this. If you had the entire world's attention for just a few minutes, what story would you tell? Perhaps you think the world looks at you, your country and your culture... and just doesn't understand. Then do something about it. Make a film and upload it here http://www.youtube.com/group/pangeaday. You never know. It could end up bringing millions of people that bit closer together.

Pangea is the name of the original super-continent which contained all the world's land mass before the continents started splitting apart 250 million years ago. We're launching Pangea Day with the vision that the people of the world can begin to overcome their divisions, and that the power of film can help make it possible.

Movies can't change the world. But the people who watch them can.

yo soy americana y no pienso nada mal sobre mexicanos. no todos en los estados unidos son estupido o gordo o racista (no se si esto es la palabra correcto). si, es verdad que hay much racismo en el e.u. pero no es verdad cuando dicen que todos en la pais participen es esto racismo....

sorry if my spanish is really bad... i swear not everyone is like the racist, ignorant idiots who do seem to be quite common here. there are some nice, smart people here. mexico is a wonderful, beautiful place =]

I understand what you mean. Here in America any aspect of Latino culture is viewed negatively, and Spanish speaking countries are always portrayed as poor stupid and dirty. In fact, any country that is not white and English speaking is portrayed that way. I find this prejudice attitude to be disgusting. They are so enthralled by their televisions, it controls most aspects of their lives and they don't even know it. Not everyone, but I can say from experience most Americans I know are this way.

shut up religious freak

Well, you can go feed a person and then leave or you can tell him that the God of the universe came to empower him from bondage on multiple levels.

Either way the food helps temporarily and the spirit can be crushed by past conditioning.

What conditioning will change the world for good? Seeing through their eyes or changing how they see the world?

Zechariah 4:6b "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts."

so true just because people make up a holiday and say it will change the world means nothing
