About this project

OVERVIEW

On October 10th, 2010 (10/10/10), thousands of inspired individuals, representing every nation of the world, filmed their perspective and contributed their voice to a collaborative global film project. We amassed over 3,000 hours of footage on the day. Many filmed topics of beauty and culture, while others exposed us to challenges, both global and personal. Founded in 2008, ONE DAY ON EARTH is an online community, a video time capsule, and a media creation platform. It explores our planet’s identity and challenges in an attempt to answer the question: Who are we?

THE FILM

ONE DAY ON EARTH creates a picture of humanity by recording a 24-hour period throughout every country in the world. We explore a greater diversity of perspectives than ever seen before on screen. We follow characters and events that evolve throughout the day, interspersed with expansive global montages that explore the progression of life from birth, to death, to birth again. In the end, despite unprecedented challenges and tragedies throughout the world, we are reminded that every day we are alive there is hope and a choice to see a better future together. PLEASE WATCH THE TRAILER.

WHAT WE NEED

One Day on Earth has been financed to this point by personal savings of the producers, small donations from the community, and in-kind support.

The funds from this campaign will help us through the edit and every dollar over the goal will be well spent on securing distribution and keeping our global archive online. We have already begun planning 11/11/11 with our NGO partners and we hope to have extra resources to focus on outreach.
 
This project has been made possible by thousands of people around the world, we all thank you for your support.
