The first documentary to feature footage filmed in every country on the planet captured during the same day is to screen in more than 160 countries across the globe to celebrate Earth Day on April 22.
One Day On Earth - created with the help of the United Nations and an international community of filmmakers - took four years to make and follows in the footsteps of Life In A Day as a video time capsule of one day – 10 October 2010.
More than 19,000 filmmakers, both professional and amateur, contributed 3,000 hours of footage. The project, headed by Founder/Director Kyle Ruddick and Co-founder/Executive Producer Brandon Litman, donated video cameras to more than 95 UN country offices, which resulted in unusually intimate access to remote places including Papua New Guinea and South Sudan.
Featuring music by Paul Simon, Fela Kuti and Sigur Ros the film aims to catch the full gamut of human experiences – from water shortages to poverty – connect us all, and offers rarely seen images from life countries including North Korea and Iran.
The film will screen for free on April 22 - for a full list of global venues - which, sadly, only appears to include one place in the UK so far - visit www.onedayonearth.org/screening.
