One Day on Earth is the first film made in every country of the world on the same day. We see both the challenges and hopes of humanity from a diverse group of volunteer filmmakers assembled by a participatory media experiment. The world is greatly interconnected, enormous, perilous, and wonderful. We chart the cycle of life over the 24-hour period of October 10th, 2010. From every country of the world we follow characters and events that evolve throughout the day, interspersed with expansive topical global montages that explore the progression of life from birth, to death, to birth again. Cut from over 3000 hours of footage, One Day on Earth offers us an epic glimpse of humanity from more perspectives than ever seen before. Some of the main characters and stories in the film include: A speech by the Dalai Lama about the inter-connectivity of humanity Vincent, a young boy from the Netherlands, has a terminal illness and a life expectancy of 10 years.
