Today is Pangea Day, a global event dedicated to bringing people together through film. With its eclectic mix of movies, live music and passionate speakers, Pangea Day aims to help us see life through the eyes of others. There are live events taking place right now in Cairo, Kigali, London, Los Angeles, Mumbai and Rio de Janeiro.
But don’t worry if you live far from any of these cities or couldn’t make the actual festivities: On today’s YouTube homepage, you’ll find a sampling of the 24 short films being featured in the Pangea Day program. Selected by Pangea Day’s international competition from over 2,500 submissions from over 100 countries – many of which came from YouTubers heeding last year’s call for entries – these films inform and inspire, and provide a taste of what this event is all about.
