On May 10 (that's tomorrow for anyone not paying close attention) Los Angeles, Kigali, London, Cairo, Mumbai and Rio de Janeiro will all participate in Pangea Day. The official website says of the global event:

Pangea Day taps the power of film to strengthen tolerance and compassion while uniting millions of people to build a better future.

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.

Pangea Day will consist of four hours of short films, live music and visionary speakers broadcast from the six aforementioned locations, and will be linked live so you can watch the event live via the Internet, television, digital cameras and cell phones. Or course if you happen to live in or near one of the participating cities, you can also attend an event in-person.

An international competition was held and 24 short films were selected from more than 2,500 submissions from over 100 counties. The chosen films will be shown, as well as featured presenters including Queen Noor of Jordan and Christiane Amanpour from CNN.

The event will take place from 18:00 to 22:00 GMT and will feature subtitles in several languages including English, Arabic, French, Spanish, German, Hindi and Portuguese.
